[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd support it. The college benefits are amazing. As are the career benefits.[/quote] This...particularly from Lower Middle/Working class families. They probably do not have the cash for an education, and a stint in the military (be it 2-4 years or a career) is a good way to move up. Anyone who puts in the 20-30 years is solidly middle class, at worst...[/quote] Its very difficult to get you education if you are just doing 2-4 years. It takes most 6-8 years as you can only go part-time and it depends on how much training/moves/family obligations and much more. Right now, its not a good career choice given the deployments and significant risk of injury or death. Sadly the military does not keep those injured so after you get medical care you are discharged and the VA/retirement pay is terrible. There are many families barely hanging on right now due to an injury to the war. [/quote]
