I never knew that Capstick had been in the Military. Did he ever write of his experiences during his Service ?
I never read that PHC was in the military, much less that he was a U.S. Army Special Forces officers. He was born in 1940, so he would have graduated from college around 1962. If he didn't receive a commission through ROTC, he would have had to spend three or four years to cover his enlisted basic training, OCS, Infantry Officer Basic, Special Forces school, and then the time necessary to complete his obligation. That wouldn't have left him much time to become much of a stock broker before he quit Wall Street. Maybe somebody with better GOOGLE FOO skills than me could find his military dates of service, but the time line seems a little fishy to me.
