Not only do I deny that, I flat out reject the very notion. In fact, many highly intelligent individuals join the Army with the intent to learn what they can in the serivce, take their classes (paid for by the Army) and maybe even get into better shape while they serve their time out.

Also, after your service is up, people who have served in the Army get better interest rates on their loans (which they have an easier time getting than someone who has not served), better payments, residuals, and if they qualify they can continue having their classes paid for by the Army if they stay in the field they were in. Doesn't sound idiotic to me.
