The educational benefits of those who served in the military in the mid-to-late 20th Century allowed them to attend college. Back in the day, when I was in college, two guys on the baseball team, who were really, really old -- about 30 -- were in school only because they received the benefits of the G.I. Bill.
That benefit has been scaled back to such an extent that the advertising designed to emphasize the educational benefits available to those entering the military is misleading, at best, or fraudulent, if we want to be truthful about it.
Here's a fact, though. Assuming that a 4 or 5 year college education runs about $100,000, the government could have turned out 5,000,000 graduates with what has been wasted on the war in Iraq. What would that have done for this country?
Just sayin'.
