In many ways they might. As Erin Zlomek reports, elite business schools are practically tripping over themselves to recruit service men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. And why not? Vets are not only eligible for a big bucket of financial aid, they're also catnip for recruiters, who find they have valuable skills, from running supply-chain operations to cyber-security. It probably helps that many of them have the kind of leadership skills that can only be learned by taking men and women into battle. That may not make them "better" MBAs in any measurable sense, but in a still-shaky economy, it doesn't hurt.
