Well, you have to survive in order to see the benefits of the GI Bill. Few people leave the Military with any relevant job skills. Most of them, if lucky use benefits to go to school.

Of which, you need to dodge Kalishnikov fire long enough to go to a College or Trade School.

I remember something my father told me. He served in the Airforce and Army, during the Vietnam War. The Military teaches you two things. How to hate Government, and how to love life.
