Yeah, I'd kindly request that you refrain from such anti-military comments. The undeniable truth is that the US military is more educated, more disciplined, more motivated, and far more driven on average than the civilian population. We're held to a far higher standard as far as personal conduct goes, tend to do MUCH more volunteer work in the local communities. Most of us enlisted folk hold at least the equivalent of an Associate's degree, with supervision constantly pushing higher education on us. Of course officers all hold at least a Bachelor's degree, and anyone over the rank of Captain (O-3) holds at least a Master's degree.
I don't want to be a PITA - but maybe different flavors of the military do it differently. My future brother in law just spent roughly 4 years as a drill Sgt. (Army - waiting for deployment) and said the majority of guys he trained were a disgrace. He was able to put together his own unit and has great guys working with him (I have met the majority of them) who are currently all in Iraq. BUT - there were those that he had to train that couldn't even speak english.
I don't let this take away from those soldiers that are great and those who joined for the right reasons, but don't pull the wool over your eyes to the problems.
Like I said, different flavors may be different, but this is just a case that I know about firsthand.
