a college education is no good reason?

people sign scholarships to be football players in college and get yelled at all the time for example.

wow you are really stupid you know that?  yet you pass yourself off as smart.

you are a computer geek that has a job that many many many people do.  you know here in the US a lot of people do what you are doing as a second career?  you know...a back up plan.  lol.  and so you are the judge of what is intelligent?  do tell what makes you the judge of that?  what qualifies you?  now i have been to both college and the military and the amount of idiots is equal.  i doubt you have been to both and i bet you just came out of one.

We know with him and many others it wasn't about 'serving' it was about getting access to college.
The college money I received was simply deferred salary.

Everyone that joins the military has access to the basic GI Bill. This used to just be a flat $625 a month while attending school that you had to use to pay for books, tuition, rent, food etc. Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. But here's the thing though: if you actually want the GI Bill you have your wages garnished for the first year you serve. They take out $100 a month for the first twelve months (out of our already meager $1200 a month minus taxes salary) of service in order to fund it. The GI Bill is not funded by the taxpayers, it's funded by other soldiers. So you paid in $1200, and got back $20,000 on the other side. That right there should show you how often ex-military actually attend college. I know of three other people out of my company of 120 that actually attended or are attending school.

Now, on top of that, you could have a bonus inserted into your contract that raised the amount of money you received when you attended college. Just like a signing bonus you would take at any other job, this was offered to me. I took it, and it upped my GI Bill coverage from $20,000 to $50,000. Instead of $625 a month, I received $1,562. High roller amirite? And again, just like with the pure GI Bill, the vast majority of soldiers never touch the money so sticking that in the contract as a lure is a win for the government.

So call me a leach if you want Dilbert. I really don't care. In fact, I find it amusing Now you know more about how the system worked and can try to use it against other ex-military. Good luck with that.

ya thats true dilbert.  the GI bill basically comes out of a unused pot of money paid for by soldier salaries.  a leech as you people call it get money for nothing.  well working isnt nothing.

I've never seen him succeed at it. He's proven to be about as smart as War Man.

So, one of you ex-military geniuses want to explain how the future nobel laureates in the OP concluded that killing innocent Afghan and taking their pictures in comic poses would be

- 'epic lulz'
- unlikely to be found out
?

Especially after Abu Ghraib.

Then explain again how its the smart kiddies who sign up to do tours of Afghanistan as enlisted men.

It's not. No one claimed it was.....Dilbert if you say Islam can not be condemned for the actions of "a few", then how can you condemn an entire military force and its mission for the actions of "a few"?

3 out of 120? I thought they were all geniuses.

But wait a minute, did the other 117 have their wages garnished or did you in fact get a $48,800 subsidy from the taxpayer?

You may call it spectacular, for the revelation would be to one such as yourself. Others would see it as business as usual.
