Is the "International High IQ Society" a legitimate society for people with high IQ's?

Why won't most people in the Army be able to function in normal society such as being a grocery bagger,etc?

• Ina conversation I had witha friend under the username of Valtiel in another forum, we had this conversation.This is what he said: "Most people who joined the military - specifically the army - would normally not be able to hold a job as a Sobey's grocery bagger and/or function in normal society. If this offends you and you wish to challenge me, you are wrong and I will not care. I've lived within army communities my entire life and recently got out of the army after six years. Yes it is the Canadian army however it applies the same to the US and UK and most likely any army out there. CAVEAT: I have many army friends who are well ahead of this bell curve and are consummate professionals. They are also the exceptions. Now, I said this for a reason. Most of these guys behind the curve (and in the army that curve is very skewed to the right) are your typical fake macho men type (the kind that wears TapOut shirts and wears their dogtags to nightclubs thinking they're cool and basically act like punks with jarhead haircuts) or they are the jock douchebag types who realized no corporation in the world gives one half of a f--k about their sports team playing abilities so they joined the army (note - team sports in the army = important just like in high school). These are the guys that were typically involved in some sport in high school, failed jolly good near every course but it was overlooked because of their football skills, dated all the bimbos and generally could not reach the number ten even if counting their fingers. Having spent most of my time in combat arms units, I was surrounded by them jolly good near every day. When they weren't training, they were "working the guns" at the gym. When not at the gym they were getting loaded drunk (who cares if its a Tuesday night?) and going out womanizing. Most of them did not know what a book was except that it was a small box with many words inside. If they did stay home, it was to ...... drink even more and watch football...YARR FOOTBALL HURR HURR DERP So with this in mind, combined with an over the top testosterone filled attitude at work and at home, combined with an aversion in the military towards everything remotely non-manly (you like classical music? whatever FAG, hur hur deerrrrp) COMBINED EVEN FURTHER with people with room temperature IQ ..... And you have why many guys in the army do not like so called "Casual" or nerdy stuff" such as Anime/Manga and Romance Books like Gone With the Wind , especially a subject of interests involving corny redemption and what not. Things like Classical Studies and Superman are not manly at all and in the army stating you like something like that is akin to painting a giant target on your forehead. OP, if you want to be taken remotely seriously on a military forum, forgo ALL of that intellectual/casual stuff because they will interpret you as a silly little fanboy kid or a pussy dweeb." What do you think?Is Valtiel correct or not?

• Answer:

  You.... I mean 'she' is incorrect. 1) The military has a higher high school graduation rate then the civilian population. 2) The military has a higher college rate then the civilian population. 3) There are headhunter corporations specifically for finding military personnel to place them in companies for their experience. Companies pay these groups to recruit military member for them. 4) A lot of military people like Anime. We are generally more well read then most civilians. Especially since we often get to live in Japan. 5) We are also generally more worldly then most civilians, because we actually do travel the world.
