    Which is harder to get into, the military or the college?

    I recently saw a JRE YouTube video where the guest speaker said it was harder to get into the military, and Joe Rogan was unaware of why. And asked why most people don't know why that is. So what do you think/know? Is it harder to get into the military or college?
