Actually, GD, in one of these threads, I have articulated the offense in the original statement. Taken out of context, I find it to strongly imply that people who don't do well iln school end up, in large numbers, serving in the military.

I don't take particular offense at that statement, but others do. Perhaps the context was Bush's No Child Left Behind, but since the undereducated have been flocking to the military option since loooooong before NCLB, I find the statement in and of itself to have the very meaning that some are finding offensive.
