you seriously think it's about being "smart"?   I'd argue that most "smart"
people wouldn't touch the military with a 10 foot pole.  Some branches have
pretty strict "academic" requirements and some of the academies are really
strict, but that's not what I'm talking about.  It takes a certain

a military environment.  On the other hand there are some personalities
that wouldn't make it 2 days of boot camp.  The recruiters know this.  They
see them both coming a mile away.  It's part of what they do.
