Or, what if someone wants to do a job that can only be done in the military? Besides it isn't like someone is going to be richer just because they graduated college at 21 instead of 25. |

Maybe so, but I'm working on my degree and not paying a dime, I have health insurance for me and my family (which we didn't have growing up) and my four bedroom house with the corner lot and two car garage is being paid for by Uncle Sam. I could have gone to work for Boeing making 86k a year in 2005 if I'd wanted to get out. Of course, I'd be laid off right now and I only had that opportunity because of my military experience. It might be sad that there weren't better opportunities for me as a kid but that just underscores my point, I didn't have a lot of chances to succeed but I made a pretty good life for myself in spite of it. And yeah, the military was my best option. I didn't even have sports or rap music available.

so on my morning train ride i got to listen to a bunch of kids (loudly) talking about the party last night, how the one kid got burned by some girl, how he is stealing cigarettes from his job and trying to get fired, and how his dream is to live on unemployment for the next year or so. and all his friend says is "shit man, its your money!"

"quite well" ? I live in a small one bedroom apt, have no children, no habits and own a 5 year old salvage title motorcycle and an 11 year old car... That's not success in my opinion. Granted, considering where I came from that's better than most but "doing well"? Hardly.

Look I'm ex military and am Damn proud of it but to say that its the best option for all minorities/poor people is rather sad IMHO.... What some of these guys are suggesting is basically conscription of the impoverished.... |
