With all due respect to the author, the US Army wouldn't want anyone from the University of Chicago. I've seen 'em - fugetaboutit. They couldn't walk three blocks without their 'asthma medicine', let alone hump a 70# ruck for twenty miles through the 'boonies'.

Heck, the undergrads at the UofC make those at Northwestern look like bodybuilders in comparison. They are the stereotypical, pocket protecting wearing, geeks. No offense meant, just the facts.

Al that being said, they will make GREAT Doctors one day.

During the Draft the average college male had served or was on his way to the service. Our military manpower was better, and we did it without the day care centers on every base and unisex toilets on fighting vessels.

As for whether any men at UofC would make the grade, I can tell you if Jessica Lynch can do it...most of the men there could as well, at least if they were held to Jessica's standard.

Geeks are dangerous folks - UAVs with Hellfires, Remote Weapons Stations, battlefield robots... Don't underestimate geeks!

It's a good thing the military doesn't need any doctors.
