I was trained in LINE when I was in the military and was really quite expert in it...but I haven't kept the edge. I work with weights so I keep good upper body strength but...because of my back my hips and legs lack strength and good movement...but I am satisfied that I can still kill or maim the average bear. The real problem lies in the fact that if I become unaware of my movements I can end up paralyzed from the waist down.

I really have alot of respect for your military background. The Hardwork and sacrifice are the character traits that probably helped you be successful in your other ventures.
I was in no way saying that a degree equals success or intelligence. I know plenty people without degrees that are extremely smart and make a ton of money. Its just another one of rich's reasons why he thinks he is smarter than everyone.
I went through undergrad on a football scholarship and stayed around and worked in the athletic department after I finished. They asked me if I would accept tuition to grad school as part of my salary. Until then, I had no desire to get a masters degree. It was paid for and they weren't going to give me the money instead so, I spent a few years getting my MBA. I dont use it, but I have it in my back pocket for a rainy day.
As far as the military training, we have a buddy that was a navy seal, that is a dude that I would not fight for 100,000 bucks. He once told another guy, (NFL offensive linemen by the way), that he would kick his ass just using his knees and elbows. Everyone believed him.
