A soldier doesn't need to be smart. They just need to follow orders.
Are you F***ing kidding me??? That's the dumbest s**t I've ever heard. I'm going to make a guess that when you say "soldier" you're referring to all branches of the service, or are you just referring to the Army? Yes there is a difference. Be very careful what you say...there are a bunch of current and retired military in this forum including myself. I've been proudly serving for 14 years and to hear something that stupid come out of someones mouth really chaps my ass. You don't have to like the military or even like the concept of war, but please respect what we do. Are you willing to risk your life for your job? I'm sure you're not willing to stick your hand in the deep fryer for that last french fry at the end of your work night. Have a good day! Dick.
