Your original post was in response to me. I hold a leadership position in the military. You've made blanket statements about the military of which comprises lots of leadership positions. Are you now altering your statements to only be relevant for basic trainees and brand new Privates? All officers and most NCOs in the Army are college educated and all have specific training in their field. You should probably stop talking about the military. You really don't seem know the first thing about it.

Is being a common soldier not a position based on the threat of force
A Soldier's duty is to obey the orders of the President and officers appointed above him/her and to defend the Constitution. I guess if you are just going to make up a term then it can mean whatever you want. Soldiers also are regularly part of humanitarian missions both in the US and abroad. I've personally had more deployments now in support of humanitarian missions than combat operations. You seem to really want to pigeon hole service members as morons whose only purpose is to kill.
