Yeah, basic training is totally like college semester. And deployment is totally like field trip in the forrest. Wtf. And depending on where soldiers go, in most places they don't get civilian experience. They get soldier experience which is, again, much different.

Theres 1.4 million active duty military, that's a lot of different deployments, not all of which are stereotypical "soldier experiences".

That's like saying the Air Force is full of pilots when in reality only 1% of those in the USAF are pilots.
