What are all the options then Soldier?
Work and pay cash. Community colleges for gen eds,, military and GI Bill. There are ways and it absolutely can be done.
I agree with your ways of not accumulating a lot of debt, and obviously understand your regards to our Armed Services, but to continue on the trend of the topic, which is Millenials, and how horrible we are you understand your scenarios solution is essentially telling millenials, "Hey man, you can get free school and get a good loan on a home, all you have to do is risk your life by getting shot at, or blown up by an IED"
Because for my generation, joining the service means right after school, you enlist around 2006-07 and you get sent to Iraq, or Afghanistan.
Im sorry but telling 18 year olds, heyyy man theres a way to not go into debt, all you have to do is get shot at...is not the high bar I think we should be setting as a nation.
There are literally thousands of jobs in the military where you have virtually zero chance of ever getting shot at. And you get the exact same benefits as those who DO choose to sign up for infantry or rifleman.
