I was a beneficiary of the G.I. Bill of WWII having served in the Pacific. I came away with a science/engineering degree from the most renowned public university in the world. I saw during those years many young men who should have taken advantage of the opportunities available. I also saw quite a few ex G.I.s who used the Bill just to have something to do. The G.I. Bill had it’s god and it’s bad tendencies.
I’m G I BILL educated too. Didn’t hurt me. My family could never have afforded it.
