but it's no fun to be an officer without a bunch of stupid enlisted men to boss around I do not know how you intended this to sound, but it comes off in a way that is horribly inaccurate of both officers and enlisted men. The majority of officers I know have gone out of their way to help the enlisted learn and did what they could to ensure they had access to colleges. Many officers were ready to help any enlisted person with a real desire to do so to get their education finished and get a commission themselves. On the other side of it, most of the enlisted men I knew were at or above average intelligence. Especially in certain fields such a communications and intelligence it was very common to find people who already had degrees when they enlisted or finished them quickly after enlisting.
