There's a lot of people making a career out of the military because frankly they'd be hard pressed to have a career in the private sector.

I'll concede your point ... there are basically some worthless clingers that are allowed to hang around until retirement that may or may not be able to do jack shiite in the private sector.




On the flip side ... many ex-military excel in the private sector because for anyone worth a shite, it's easy to run circles around the average civilian.


And, many regular joes would either not be qualified or not have a prayer of succeeding in the military. These are typically the folks that go around saying stuff like, "I was gonna join the Marines, but .... " ... or just openly mock the military ... and, deep down, just know that they could never hack it.






"I coulda gone to Annapolis, but ... " .... yeah, I hear that one alot, too. Sure you could have. Maybe you could have. But ... you didn't.
