Ok, gotta admit i dont get the idea behind that; teaching people stuff (writing, etc) doesnt have much to do with science in that context; Of course you need your basics to start inventing, but, believe me or not, soldiers are actually able to read and write too
Nope, but neither in any science lab or engineering company
So you are practically saying that soldiers cant to art? I mean, yeah many idiots there, but thats the same outside of the army.
Probably mostly chinese workers in factories which have minimal payment and enough work hours a day so they are not even trying to think about innovation.
And of course, the people that invent stuff are mostly non-military guys. But that doesnt mean that they dont do the science FOR the military, which is paying quite a lot of money for research in different companies.
