Good point - I went to Cornell - lots of ROTC kids there. [/quote]

OP - kid really doesn't want to do ROTC[/quote]

No doubt, but you have to explain that’s the path to attending an expensive OOS school. Money math is money math.[/quote]

Military service should not be the default to afford college. That is not a path for everyone. [/quote]

It's not the default - ROTC scholarships and service academy appointments are difficult to get. I'm sure there are some kids who go that route for financial reasons, but it's the minority. If you're talking enlisting and using the GI Bill, I do agree with that, but most who enlist aren't academically qualified for pricey schools anyway. This just isn't the issue you think it is.[/quote]

At the $$$$ schools, many of the kids who have a scholarship are doing it for financial reasons. That does not mean it is the only reason, but it might be the primary one.[/quote]
