No offense to the qualifications and skills of people in the military, but most service members are not in a professional career field in the sense of a field that involves specialized knowledge that requires licensing and government regulation. Most enlisted are closer to technicians, and most officers are more generalized managers than they are professionals in that sense (notable exceptions being officers who have traditional civilian professional careers: doctors, lawyers, clergy, ect.)

For that matter, most professional careers don't require a generalized 4 year degree. Professional career fields usually require a professional degree (MD, DDS, JD, ect.)
