Yes. I can't speak to the Army, but I well recall several ET petty officers
I had working for me aboard ship who had IQs in the 140 to 160 range, and
were definitely not "ignorant kids." And that wasn't even the destroyer
Navy.

I think its obvious to anyone with an IQ over 80 that we are talking about NOW,
not 30 years ago.

I'll admit my recent contacts with military types have been limited to the
marine reservist down the hall, who came back from Iraq a few months ago,
and an army general who recently retired and became CEO of a client.

So let me ask you the question I asked BS. How many of those "kids" do you
know?

The area I live in is full of military people. Most have a Masters
from good schools like MIT, Yale, ect.ect.ect Many many have Phd's
and command ships that cost 3.5 billion a year to operate. Thousand's
of them are engineers.

While spoiled brats like BB wasted daddys money barely flunking out
of Harvard, these guys became officers in the military and earned
degrees while they served.

While BB was hurling spitballs at a blackboard, these guys, and gals
were hurling off a carrier's in 300 million dollar aircrafts.
