So you think. If people do bad in school, they have no choice but to go to Iraq because they arent smart enough for anything else? |

No, that argument is not valid. Just because something is cited does not make it fact. I think that you are blind to the bias in that article because you want it to be true. The Rolling Stone article might as well be an editorial. One search in Google will find a hundred rebuttals. |

What who said? Edited Addition:
Where do you get your information? The rate of high school graduates or equivalent among enlisted members in the DoD is 99.1%, the civilian rate is 89%. Note that this does not include the officer corp, which all posess college degrees. The percentage of college educations is higher in the civilian world (56.2 compared to 10.4), but this number becomes less significant when the age groupings of the military and civilian groups are compared. Over 40% of enlisted members are between the ages of 17-24 (prime college attendance age) while less than 10% of the civilian labor force is in this age group.

Most
people join the military because its an alternate to working out of
High School(full time), an experience, To defend there country(there
still out there), to get put through college, or because they are
unsure what what they want to do in life.

Where did you get this information? I know a lot of people in the military. I dont know that many who are dumb. Not many at all. Most are intelligent. Edited by Kristofer - 31 October 2006 at 6:07pm |

I think if there was a list of unbiased news sources, Rolling Stone would probably be second to last, only ahead of Al-Jazeera. |

if he is implying that most military people are dumb, he is right.
there is, of course, a certain percentage that are not dumb, but it is below 50 without question. political views aside, that is a valid statement. |

MP5s? Why on earth would they use an MP5 The rounds are too small. They wont do anything. Hell the 5.56 doesnt do anything when the insurgents are so high on god knows what when they fight us. (thats what I've been told by many Marines.) What unit are you in that would switch to MP5? Are you FAST or something? As for when I am going. Its anyone's guess. Rumor has it that in January they may be sending those who havent been to Iraq (me included) to 29 Palms for desert warfare training. As long as its after December 9 I dont care. I really want to go to the Marine Corps. birthday Ball on December 9. |
