Howard Dean, Stephen King. Who's the bigger jerk?

And one other thing Zeke.


College <> Smart.......

The dumbest guy I ever worked for had a Harvard BA and a Northwestern MBA.  The smartest person I ever worked for only had a HS diploma.

Ezekiel has been insulting military people for going on 2 years now.  Probably more.  I'd say that makes him a bigger jerk than the other two.  Among other things, of course.  I'm thinking of a warm summer's eve.  And the bag it came in.

Now, now: I merely take umbrage with those that are there because they have nowhere else to go.

Then you have changed your earlier position, that ALL military members are mentally deficient?

Mine were targeted towards other factors: opportunities to attend college and suitability to the college environment or ability to take advantage of the opportunities while there.  None of those factors have anything to do with intelligence or ability.

You are aware that colleges charge tuition, right?  A desire to serve one's country and lack of a decent college warchest doesn't mean that the average GI is just a dumb conscript.

Big +1 to this. A buddy of mine back in HS had a crappy home front, basically a 18 he was on his own. He went military, a good route for him. While my family doesn't pay my way, I was not kicked out or forced to pay rent. I can go to college if I work. If he had more money, or even a little family support like I did, he would likely have gone this way.

Huh?  I think you quoted the wrong person because I was not saying that.
