In today's military, you need to be highly intelligent. The ground war days of multitudes of H.S. dropout "grunts" are over.

This should, however, sway the families of those family members (I hope) of our Iraq and Afghan veterans who never came back, got severely wounded, or succumbed to PTSD--all over barrels of precious oil and a bunch of lies about WMDs.
