I agree Rustico and my philosophy is much like yours. People are free to choose whatever suits them best.
JJ,
Analogies are just that. You bring up the minimum qualifications and that is hiring a boy scout. The are medical quacks and military cowards as well. Some of you may be literal ex-marines or ex-mercenaries and could fare better. RE can ver simple or very complex. You typically dont find out which it is until its too late.As in anything, there are winners and losers. Enough with the tired cliches. best of luck to all, what ever route you choose.
