You join to defend your country and do your presidents bidding. All else is strictly a perk. Period! Our armed forces are there ensuring that Americans are free to buy IOM SS/RS Camaro's with black rally stripes. Don't get me wrong. The GI bill and on the job training you get in any of the forces will be with you the rest of your life and help shape who you are. Just never forget why you really joined. Say thanks to my Marine nephew, Scott. Fresh back from his third tour in Iraq.

Maybe that's why you did. Not me. Defending my country is one of the duties that comes along with it and I'm fine with that. I'm not concerned with the GI bill so much. The education I'm talking about is the stuff that I'd learn while being trained for whatever it is I'd be doing in the army. Sorry if I was unclear about that.
