I never called you names or stereotyped you or anyone else. That's Flapp's game because obviously he likes being angry and taking it out on other people.
My criticism is aimed at the predatory aspects of the organization and the larger political structure that has turned it from a DOD to the world's most expensive Jobs Program with the unfortunate side effects of death, destruction, and national financial insolvency.
It's a good thing that you were able to get an education, but why is that version of socialism acceptable but offering it to everyone is distasteful and/or unAmerican?
These are the questions that need to be asked in a free society.
Since it's obvious you've never served, let me address the Socialism comment.
Bullshit! When you accept an educational opportunity from the military, you incur a service commitment. If you separate before that time, under most conditions, you'd be required to pay the government back for the money they spent on your education.
I received a 4-year college scholarship from the Air Force right after high school. My contract required that I graduate on time, attain the degree I originally stated I would, became a commissioned officer upon graduation in the reserves, and repay them with 4 years active duty service, and 2 years in the reserves. If I failed to fulfill my contract, I may have been required to enter the Air Force and complete my 4 year commitment as an enlisted airman.
If that's your idea of Socialism, then that's a new one on me! I entered into those agreements with full understanding of my duties and consequences of failing to live up to them.
I also attended Squadron Officer's School in residence. That required another 2 years service commitment.
It's your choice completely to join, agree to the terms or walk away. Sounds more like capitalism to me.
