I get your point, but let us be clear: The military is not made up a “large percentage” of intellectual misfits and general f-ups.” The cross-section of the military does not reflect the average cross section of the civilian world—which is a good thing because the civilian world is made up of a large percentage of intellectual mis-fits and general f-ups.
The military is made up of a large percentage of young men dedicated to this great nation, disciplined, proud and willing to sacrifice for a cause greater than themselves.
Basically, the military is made up of a large percentage of young men that are patriots.
Young men serve their nation, putting their self-interest second. Intellectual misfits and general f-ups are not drawn to that world.
Some are there, but hardly a “large percentage.”
Yeah, but my long experience over the years both in and with the military leads me to believe that there are one hell of a lot of f-ups (and one bejabbers load is located at Bagram). However, it could all have changed in the last two months.
