[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can pay for my kids education myself. They don’t need to risk getting a bullet in the head for education. I see pics of young men and women killed in wars... for what, I wonder.[/quote]

Only a small portion see that kind of combat.  You clearly don't know much.[/quote]
Not sure what movies you have been watching.

You graduate an academy as an Officer, that is several, several levels about entry level. You are an asset; there to lead, train & teach others, manage teams, run technology, and communicate well amongst U.S. departments. 
Sure you can go sign up for Seals or Rangers, but most officers are in charge of 100s or 1000s of people at age 23 when they go live all around the world and country. [/quote]

so, it's just for the benefits then. [/quote]

You continue to sound uninformed and in a bubble.

What benefits are you trying to talk about? you mean the ones if you do 20 years of service? you owe 4 if you went to an Academy. More if they train you on specific jets or technology or sent you to law, business or medical school. 
Why don't you call them up and ask how long their grads stay in the military. It is a decision for the grad to make as they choose a track or manage their career. [/quote]

My office has a number of service academy grads. Sorry to tell you but they are no better than typical state U grads. [/quote]
