Why not post your name and address to test their marksmanship skills? |

According to U.S. census data:
in 2007 58% of the U.S. population had HSD while 72% of the Army did (Officers excluded)
in 2007 20% of the U.S. population had 1 or more years of college while 73% of the Army did (Officers included)
Go figure... |

why is it that you are generally and completely unintelligent. LAY OFF OUR TROOPS!!! |

Wow! You seem to be having really bad experiences with US Army enlisted soldiers, huh?
However, what you wrote is not really convincing.
I certainly can not answer this "question", the way you wrote it.
Probably you should consider getting specific. |

At least they don't have tea bags hanging from their head. |

If you needed a bunch of guys to train at killing people and generally cause havoc on command, would you want a bunch of people who are going to ponder the barbaric nature of their being or just get out there and bash some heads, but actually I found a huge array of enlisted and commissioned both well above and below the bar of intelligence and reason, but why stop at first sergeant, there are some retarded SGMs and CSMs, if your going to generalize don't leave people out, they feel bad. |

Rob,
If everyone is as dumb as you think, maybe the problem is on the other side of your eyeballs.
I spent 24 years in the Army enlisted and warrant. Some of the most intelligent thoughtful and capable people I have ever met were young enlisted troops male and female.
Seems to me you have an attitude problem and it is easier for you to lash out at those around you rather than admit to yourself that you may be the one who needs help.
I expect in the future we will hear you say the same things about the people you have to work with and for. |

Why would that be true? It makes no sense to believe such a thing.
Why do the folks on the Right assume this person is a Liberal? |

Another liberal elitist. |

In fairness there are many in the military who could enjoy a lucrative career in the private sector but choose to serve their country instead. That said, most people in general are unintelligent- not that I'm anything special. |
|

Truth?
 |
Oh I am sorry to hear it. You must have been rejected in some way. Well maybe one day when you are big boy you can pretend to be man enough to serve our country.
**edit** If your in the Army then your loyalty is a serious issue. Such behavior and insubordination isn't tolerated in the Marines. |

Typically when we have a tool such as yourself working for us, and we really really wish you would go AWOL but you don't, We tend to make life as un-reasonable as possible. It's little momma's boys like yourself that make the Army have to act all Draconian. |

wow, what a generalization. Maybe you know one or two kids but that does not reflect on the army! If you aren't willing to stand behind our troops, then stand in front of them. |

if the issue is against all you have met, then maybe the issue is with you, and your possible inability to recognize reason or common sense. |

unintelligent?? ha, thats not true.. if they can pass the asvab |

Most people in the army don't really have a care to be smart. You don't need basic knowledge of math etc. to be a private in the military. Anybody strong and with a strong will can join. All you have to do is be strong, willful, and have good aim. |
|

YA is liberal bias BS
 |
Hmmmm....I find that all those pansy liberals in the northeast who claim to be so smart are educated idiots. It's all about perspective. |

Because most people of average or above average intelligence can find jobs that pay more than the military and don't have to get yelled at by some drill sargent. |

They just lettin' anybody in the Army these days. They need all the help they can get, smart or not. |

Because the smart ones go to college and become officers. |
