Math and logic are clearly not a strength of yours.

It must be a strict mistrust of the left to think that everyone is lying.
How odd. In psychology, that's called "projection".

First, many categories (working in Silicon Valley and being stationed in the
military) are not mutually exclusive. Second, only if you are an academy
grad does your time in college count (and only after the 20 year point) -- 
for retirement purposes; otherwise, ROTC college time doesn't count -- 
unless you were recruited in college by the nuclear submarine force that is
in exceptionally high demand; then college time *does* count towards the 20
years and retirement.

I'm 43 years old and spent 20 years in the US Navy submarine force. I taught
graduate level Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems classes when I
wasn't underwater.

Best,
