ORIGINAL: popeye1250 [...] Subtee, to ex-military guys like me, guys that didn't serve can never be alphas. As much as I disliked him, John Kerry is an alpha. Obama, Clinton, not alphas. Guys like Obama and Clinton look "up" to guys like Kerry and me. Good God, man...are you on crack? I am ex Military too, (25th ID, 25th Avn Brg) and I'd hardly classify those who choose military service as 'dominant.' In fact, I think it's just the opposite. Among the enlisted, those who join the military tend to be pretty 'mediocre' in life. Not the best students, fuckups in school, little ambition and drive toward building a civilian career and for many it's either the military or dead end jobs or jail. It can be a great jumping off point in life for those who are self motivated, but those who are not tend to stay in for life. Those who are truly leaders and possess conviction for the cause (like Pat Tillman) are the exception, not the rule. Among the officer ranks it's a bit different, but I still wouldn't call the majority of these men 'dominant." I support the military and am generally a defense hawk, but you have confused being 'dominant' with being a soldier.
