A college degree does not require Intelligence, it requires money, time and a little effort.

If you say so. And I'll bet you don't have one because you're surely not speaking from experience. A couple clues are your deficiency in written English (you don't know that "intelligence" is not a proper noun, it's a common noun and should not be capitalized) and anyone who has been to college knows that it takes a lot of effort.

That is really amusing. Let me share with you what is hard. Walking up the Hindu Kush mountains with 40 lbs of body armor and 80+lbs of gear in 90 degree temp knowing that any moment you may come under fire. How about being able to orient an artillery piece, load, and compute the trajectory to hit a target 30 or 40 miles away in minutes. How about servicing a military fighter with munitions of several types, repairing aircraft electrical systems. Being able to provide FULL battlefield medical treatment for any type of wounds for a fallen warrior. All of this being done by 18/19 year olds with typically less than a year of training. College is a cake walk. You can take the elitist position and pick on a typo if you wish but that still does not take away from the content of my position.
