My experience tells me that the brightest young men and women (18-24 or
so) are in college. Some percentage of bright kids who cannot hack it in
college drop out and join the military, others drop out and do something
else. I posit that very, very few of our brightest 18-year-olds opt for
the military.

You could not be more wrong.

You are letting your predilection for partisan causes cloud your
vision, Harry. I thought better of you.
