Exactly, most army recruits are statistically the lowest academic achievers (that's why they choose the army I guess). They are the easiest to brainwash into obedience. It is also why they are considered so expendable and disposable, because they have little value in society apart from being a soldier. Truth hurts. Now cue the replies about all the intelligent people in the army. . . . .
Reread your sentence, the reason graffiti is great art is because it's not done legally. That is what makes it great. You can't have "graffiti" if it's legal.
I see your point but in some cases it can be done legally. There are competitions to see which artist can come up with the most creative graffiti and they're given a giant brick wall to do it on. My friend's apartment complex also hired a bunch of artists to paint graffiti along the whole entire wall of the building.
There comes a point though, where the countless replication of a particular motif (the penis) moves from "artistic" to "mass-produced cliche". Originality is one of the main things that makes art, Art.
