On average, the military population is more educated, motivated, held to a higher standard, etc. than the civilian world. I am not pulling any wool over my eyes.

Well, at my job, I would say that is the case also.

My main point was that I would hope that a stipulation of carrying a gun and fighting for our country (being recruited on our own soil) would be that you could at least speak english. (I do know that history tells a different story)

I am not bad mouthing anyone (I have only the utmost respect for those in the services), I am telling you what I saw/heard. Like I said, I met a lot of HIS UNIT, and they are all stand up guys that I would feel comfortable fighting with.

So, all of you enlisted folk calm down and get your pink panties out of a bunch - you aren't any holier than any of us. You have a job and you do it well, just like all of us.

Keep in mind also that basic training is not intended to wash anyone out but rather prepare them for more advanced specialty training and to show them how to think and act in the operational military as well. I saw far more people kicked out of the military during tech school and the first two years of service than I ever did in basic.
This makes me feel better.
