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.
Re: your post 39, so you don’t have a college degree and are sensitive as hell about it.
I do admire what you did during your military service. The stuff you did seems very impressive and I suspect few could have done the same. OTOH, because of your sensitivity about lacking a degree (and there’s no reason to be upset about it), you seem damned determined to denigrate the college experience in spite of never having experienced it yourself.
P.S. How could it be a typo since you had to have stopped and make a shift on the keyboard to capitalize the “i”?
I just hopped on that to make a point. You do have fine writing skills, much better than some of the stuff I saw in college.
