Your connecting "intelligence" with "education level" and moreso,
"college grad" is telling.

That seems to be the context of Kerry's statement in front of the college
audience he was addressing, though.

FWIW, many use the military as a way to get
a college degree,

Yes. Unfortunately, the student aid structure is such that a college
education, because of loan interest, cost a poor person considerably more
than a rich person. The army is a fantastic way for a person of little
means to pursue an education without mounting large debts.

and IAC, given the structure of the military (18-21
y.o. initial enlistment, officers with degrees, etc.), the majority of
the military wouldn't have college degrees. That doesn't make them
"stupid," or even of low intelligence.

No, it of course doesn't.
