Yes thanks for your insight here, Jerry Rice.

VC, A soldier or police officer is a position of force. A lawyer or CEO is not, although they hold much more legitimate influence and control over others. It's not moving the goal posts, I meant force in a physical sense and you're taking it to mean any kind of authority. I'm not going Chomsky or anything here.

When I said SLIGHTLY MORE PRIVILEGED, I meant as opposed to kids who grow up in ghettos without families etc and are far more likely to join gangs. I'm well aware that it's still lower class people who join the military.

I don't believe most soldiers or police officers have obtained their position through intellect, no. If you want to take having a brain as literally as my other points go ahead, they have the kinetic intelligence to salute and fire a weapon.
