Yeesh...I don't think I have ever seen anyone write something like that in public.
You are dead right brother-no doubt it did piss off some of the former/current military guys. Somebody needs to study up on the Spartans or at least watch the movie 300. I spent six short years in the Marines and I did it because I wanted to serve...no other reason to join or even bothering to go to see a recruiter if you ask me. I will say this...I did also take advantage of the academic education benefits (I make a distinction by using "academic" because everyday in the service of the country was a practical learning experience). I ended up getting a BS and MA degree...I completed some academic classes while serving. The US Navy nuclear program probably has what he is looking for. Although...as others have already pointed out...it requires dedication and instant willingness to make the commitment.
