As a wife of a West Point graduate who has been serving on active-duty for over 20 years, I can assure you that officers' wives are usually as educated as the officer. I can't think of any officer couple where the wife did not have at least her bachelor's degree. Many spouses met each other in college.
When talking about the military, it is inaccurate to generalize officers, NCOs and junior enlisted in one group. Officers must have the BA/BS degree upon commission and better get a masters' along the way if they expect to be promoted to major or LTC. The enlisted ranks have to earn their BA/BS to achieve the top NCO promotions. yes, there is somewhat of a class system. We live in different neighborhoods based on rank.
In terms of plastic surgery, we need to have highly skilled surgeons to normalize the appearance of many of our wounded soldiers. Walk into Walter Reed and you see many young men who have horrendous injuries. If plastic surgery can fix that, then we should. The plastic surgeons are getting more than enough"practice" right now.
