9. Oh please
Even during the Nam era there were plenty of noncoms who were well educated. I knew one chief who started his career with an eighth grade education, retired holding a PhD.

Oh by the way you elitist pig, we enlisted swine do read and listen. Just asked my husband, a mere E-6, no bachelor degree, what "recalcitrant" meant. He knew. Another by the way, one of my jobs in Uncle's Fly Force was editing the report cards officers would write on their subordinates. Trust me Senator, many of them had a grasp of the English language somewhere around the 10th grade level.

In conclusion it's always a mistake to equate paygrade with IQ; they're not always the same.
