Those people they just entice with crazy checks and promises of leaving academia

Irrelevant, the original point was that they don't want people who think, they want cannon fodder. As if people who can't think would be capable of running a shop or leading technically minded people in workflows and processes that will affect missions weeks away. That's just at the E-4/5 level, not even close to officers. If you can't think in the military you'll forever be bottom of the barrel, because planning and forethought is required for virtually all leadership roles beyond E-3.

90% of the military is in a field that has a direct civilian equivalent and is considered skilled work needing at least average intelligence and in most cases above. Most of the people shitting on the military in this thread couldn't even hack half of the jobs the military needs people for.
