Amen to that. In fact, why anyone thinks today's colleges or universities are places of higher learning is a mystery; the curriculums at some of our major colleges and universities border on absurd---especially the curriculums of humanities majors. In my opinion, a bosun's mate who can secure a ship in high seas is worth far more than some limp-wristed Mary who pulled a 4.0 in a sociology major.
Excellent reply. I was an Army man myself and thinking of the street level tactical decisions that are made in combat by our young officers and NCOs. Are not many of our naval officers trained on the ins and outs of nuclear reactors? I'd wager that those boys are head and shoulders above in the smarts department when compared to some birkenstock wearing, hemp shirt clad, dreadlock having GLBT studies major with a minor in Global Warming studies.
