Well Drew, there's thousands of Boomers, like me, that had the military pay our way through college on ROTC scholarships. In return, we had a 4 year active duty commitment. I liked it so much, I did a total of 8 years.

Those scholarships are still available today, and that's the only way I encourage young men and women to enter the military.

BTW, Boomers ended the Cold War, and elected Ronald Reagan. It was Clinton and succeeding presidents who spent the "peace dividend."

Those scholarships stopped being available if you're white and male, with the exception of a very few degrees. I know firsthand from recruiting for ROTC.
