Did you serve, Heywood? I'd hardly describe it as "not a bad gig". In fact, I'd describe it as a "bad gig". While I have doubts about your comparison with college graduates - being both a veteran, and someone who went to college, I can note a striking difference: the average college graduate does not face enemy fire.
True...Joe College doesn't run the risk of getting shot at to the same degree as a soldier. That little detail can't be ignored.
I did not serve....but I have worked closely with the military.
