But yes the special forces (used loosely, including special groups in not special at all units) are a different world altogether, more educated people and a much higher brains/muscles ratio.
I don't know when you served, but with the current needs in manpower of the US military I'm guessing the selection is probably on par with that of the french army these days, don't you think ?

I'm not familiar with the French army's induction requirements but i do know that the US military has a higher percentage of high school and college graduates, per capita, than a similar sized group of civilians.
