Please check this conversation.

Travis: You would think that someone who has been in the military would be more disciplined, right?

Thomas: Yes.

Travis: Well, you are wrong. Look at Smith; he has been in the military. and he is so unorganized, lazy and always late at work.


Is this conversation correct with Travis's intending to say that it's not the case? Also, Is there an implicit condition involved with "would think"? Thank you in advance.
