[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A benefit confers a privilege.  The dependent child did not "earn" that benefit.  Ipso factor, I would consider that a privilege.  Not all veterans were exemplary armed-force personnel.  But they walk away with many benefits, including the GI Bill.[/quote]

Not all veterans benefitted from the GI bill. [/quote]

Specifically, black American veterans coming home from WWII.

[i]When they returned home, the G.I. Bill, or the Servicemen’s Readjustment
Act of 1944, sought to provide returning service members with many benefits. Among these
benefits were[b] low-cost mortgages, high school or vocational education, payments for tuition
and living expenses for those electing to attend college, and low-interest loans for
entrepreneurial veterans wanting to start a business[/b]. These benefits were open to all veterans,
including those honorably discharged, who had served at least 120 days of active duty (combat
duty was not required). The bill not only helped individual service members, but also stimulated
long-term economic growth. Though the law was deemed a political and economic success,
there was one segment of veterans who were denied many of the bill’s benefits – African
Americans.

This is one of the big drivers of the racial wealth gap that still exists today today.
