It seems more like the author is the one really pushing the whole "Shit out of luck" angle. If the shooter really did get out because he wanted to be with his family and not end up in a body bag then I can't really fault him for that.

I don't either, more power to him, I feel bad he is in that position, but he chose that life.

Everything I have read is those who are in the Seals, particularly those in Team 6, are generally very intelligent. They also tend to have Bachelors and Masters degrees already. If they want to get more education, if they took advantage of the GI Bill, they can have at least a portion of that subsidized too. The article presents the premise that corporations should be actively pursuing this type of person but aren't. I know of some companies that do look for people like this specifically. There are also headhunter organizations that specialize in dealing with former Officers and NCOs. Before he retired my father used to work with them to fill vacancies since he was much more likely to get someone smart who could be counted on rather than the typical Gen X or Y person who requires a ton of attention, direction, and reassurance. I respect this guy and what he has done. I also think the author is using his story to try and sell a greater message that may not necessarily be applicable to this guy. |
