Agreed. This is a GOP distraction tactic. You can
smell the desperation.
There is something to be said for the facts in the matter.
Here's a report for the DOD on military demographics in 2002. Compared to the national average of 46.7% of civilians with a college degree, only 10.6% of Army, 6.4% of Navy, 1.9% of Marines, and 12.7% of Air Force have college degrees.
Having a college degree is obviously not a measure of raw intellect. Soldiers obviously have plenty of other things to do than sit in class and party on weekends. But the fact remains that the military population isn't as educated on the whole as the civilian population.
