There are branches and specialties that value nerds; I wouldn’t expect most of the people here to end up in infantry if they went that route. LW’s cultural anti-authoritarianism might be a bigger problem—and, of course, joining a service that often involves being stationed halfway around the world isn’t that good an idea if your goal is to avoid moving halfway around the world.
Also, Fort Huachuca is one of the more miserable places I’m familiar with.
For the nerds who tend to hang around LW, I feel that this is a very VERY bad idea.
