I understand the difference. I, however, do not understand why you feel the need to keep re-arranging your stance, and dancing around questions.
Then why did you say it? If you understood the difference, you knew it was totally disconnected.

But that doesn't mean anything, because my original point was about the military versus non-military.

So what? A "smarter recruit" isn't necessarily very bright either.
I'm not trying to insult you or call you dumb. I know legitimately smart people who were enlisted.
Original point? You mean the one you've changed like 15 times in the last 3 hours?

The original point is the one in the first post. It's never changed. I've never rejected what I originally said and no one has disproven it either.
Why didn't you answer my original question? Here, I'll ask again so that you don't have to dip-and-twirl for another 2 hours:
Don't you think it's a little stupid that pro-athletes are paid more than our nation's defenders?
No, you said that the dumbest people see combat. That was post #14.
Is that how you beat West Point graduates in debate? Redefinition of words, moving the goal posts and backpedaling are not working well against a dumb expendable grunt.
Ok. Disproven is not a word. Second: Answer my question or shut the fuck up.
Right. Most of them are "dumb."
Don't be an English Nazi if you don't know what you're talking about. You'll look really, really stupid.
People in the military, generally, are not very bright. If that offends you, that's unfortunate.
I'd beat the crap out of them in a debate. My academic credentials are far superior.
Wealth is compensation for risk. People who avoid risk don't deserve to be compensated for it.
I'd like to know what kind of risks you take at work Tokeprep (with all those credentials of yours). Does it involve being shot, or blown up?
I wouldn't risk my life like that. I have far too much to offer the world.
You're not smarter than me.
Disproven is perfectly acceptable and common in usage. It is indeed a word, and one of ancient origin at that.

Adding the word most and putting quotations around dumb while saying you have maintained the same position from the beginning is simply dishonest. I know you can't handle the idea that a dumb expendable grunt has greater logical acumen and erudition than a PhD student such as yourself but maybe you should just quit. Admitting you put your foot in your mouth with a benighted comment and apologizing may actually get you further than having the last word.
Disproved is the correct past participle of disprove. Disproven is correct in American vernacular.
If I changed my mind I would tell you. I didn't. Your personal offense does not alter my intended meaning.
