The military will not only pay for college but also advanced degrees. Even payback prior school debt. End of the day I as a parent or a taxpayer don't owe anyone a college education. Nobody paid for mine and I turned out exceptional through get this....the work ethics I learned in the USMC. How about that!

Not everyone can or wants to join the military. It's not something that should be a prerequisite for higher education.

no one said that was the ONLY way. Just like college isn't for everyone, nor should everyone expect to go.

But i do think it would be a better country with forced service between highschool and potential higher education.

This isn't Starship Troopers.
