@buffv7 I was in the service. What I know is that some people just don't belong in the service. No amount of training would change that. "Sewing circle?" Yeah, that sounds like a much simpler way of thinking.

@HENSLEYMB Exactly. There are people who just don't belong in the service. They may make it through basic .... or not. Many don't. It is in the field, or at sea (I was in the Navy), that you suddenly realize they are useless. No matter how much training they have had. I had to take over for a medic one day during a medical emergency (a fire broke out) when he suddenly just could not function. He had all the training necessary and I had, virtually, none.

@steverogers7601 Jessup THOUGHT himself more intelligent than he was and it was Markinson that had the right strategy. "Superior" officers and higher ranking enlisted men will often show a strong dislike for their subordinates when they discover that they are more intelligent.
