YUP!!!!!
We had a totally useless Enssign on my second ship who thought he was soooo-much smarter than everybody else because he had gone to the USCG Academy for 5 years instead of the usual 4. The bastard nearly flunked out of one of his years, and some dumbass allowed him to repeat the year instead of bouncing the useless brass-hat out of the service.

At first glance, this is funny. On reflection, it's dangerous populism. A learned fool? This suggests that education is a bad thing. That people who know less actually know more. Witty, but not wise.

i never meant to say that education is a bad thing.but depending on who claims to hold it,that could be another story.

I guess the worst case might be when a fool is taught by fools in authority.

When I was an undergraduate, one of my professors told me that I was learning how to live. Not how to earn a living. I was too stupid to hear the alarm bells go off in my head.
