This video really got me thinking -- I always get my business knowledge from news anchors... Amazon is more successful in retail sales than Walmart due to their Sex Toy sales. Boom. This anchor just stated what we were all thinking.
But what is the worst information, or advice that you have ever received. Could be military, or non-military related. But we have all had that friend, uncle, coworker, customer, etc. who has given you the WORST advice, or just horrible reasoning for something...
I was once told by someone (one of my first NCOs) that they were on a diet, while they were eating a McDonalds value meal, and they were eating fries because that's how they get their "starch" that they need... I was a 19 year old private at the time and knew that, what I had just heard was perhaps one of the most idiotic things I could, and would ever hear... 15 years later and it still stands and one of the dumbest, "serious" things someone told me...

Mine kind of goes along the same lines as yours.
I was working out in the ship's gym one night and there was this guy who had some pretty big arms but also a pretty big gut. His goal was to gain size, so he was eating extra calories. Which in theory is perfect. But the way body builders and other types to lift and eat to bulk up eat lean proteins like chicken and lean ground beef. His source of calories? Candy bars and cheeseburgers. "I have to eat 5-6 cheeseburgers and candy bars every day to maintain my weight of 215 pounds." He honestly believed that his huge gut was all muscle.

My youth pastor once told me "I believe Satan is leading you down the path to join the military." His efforts to convince me not to join just helped me determine he was an idiot and made me want to join more. Please tell me again how your relationship with God means that you can advise me on what God is telling me to do with my life.
