How many people can you beat in a pool bar brawl with a pool cue?
Are you really tough enough to be a marine?
What is your height and how much do you weight?
If he had succeeded 3 years ago, it would have been OK (And he would be done now, and continuing his career).

GENERATION 35: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.
No. The analogy is a guy in MIT who did several semesters but had to drop out due to circumstances beyond his control and is trying to go back to finish. What would you think of a guy like that?

"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi
Yeah, 3 years he could graduate from somewhere else if he was really MIT caliber. And MIT isn't that important (at least, not for undergraduate).
The only way this is worth it, is if you just really really really love being in the marines...

Question for KH, Asher etc: Why do you denigrate joining the Marines so much? It's a perfectly legitimate career choice.
Of course it's legitimate.
Whether it's the smart thing to do is quite another thing. But he's free to do what he wants.
My problem is he's tried so many times, keeps failing, but he keeps at it. There's much better things out there to do than perpetually be someone's *****, do homoerotic things with other marines while on deployment, and risk getting killed to wage someone else's war.

I think an even more apt analogy is a guy who did several semesters at MIT but dropped out after discovering that thinking hard gave him headaches.
