There's probably a more tactful way to phrase that. But it's true that a majority of soldiers haven't had collegiate-level education. And it's true that it'll be harder for them to find a well-paying job than if they'd had collegiate-level education.

Speaking from personal experience, the people in my extended family who served in the military in the last fifteen years did so because they were not at the top of their class, and did not have the ability to secure a job that paid as well as the military did. I'm certainly not saying that this is true in all cases; just the cases in my life.
