You're discussing the benefits of military experience, yet you don't have any military experience. Furthermore, you don't see how military experience is relevent to the benefits of military experience? Really? I thought that would be common sense.

I know you're not the first to suggest it. I was the first to suggest it. As I wrote earlier, I'm torn on military conscription. Most of the people here (and else where) who complain about everything haven't done a god damn thing for this country. So I would love for them to get up off their asses and actually do something. On the other hand, there's no doubt in my military mind Blutarsky is a hot mess without any integrity. It's difficult enough to lead men who volunteered for the military. I spent way too much time being a damn baby sitter which detracted from training. Baby sitting guys like Blutarsky who don't want to be there would make that problem even worse. So while I would love for guys like Blutarsky to actually do something for this country, I suspect their only contribution in the military would be as a training distraction.

A great candidate for Intelligence, yet you don't understand how military experience is relevant when discussing the benefits of military experience.
Quote:However, I decided to pay my own way thru college instead.
So they service members who joined the military didn't pay their own way through college?
