Default Does Military Service Incline One to Be a Bad Player?

Actually, a better question would be if suitability for military service makes someone less suitable for playing poker. (No disrespect meant to anyone who has served in the armed forces.)

When I've asked, it seems (in an unscientific poll) that 90% of players with military service in their background are just abysmal. Either they just keep coming and betting as if a full frontal assault will break down their opponents, or they keep calling as if they need to be ordered around to understand that fold and raise are additional options. It seems such a likely sign of fish-hood, that I am more or less willing to target soldiers if I can discern their prior experience.

Any thoughts or contrary experience?
