People talk of this as if it were something new. During the cold war in the fifties, before Vietnam, either a man went to college or he went into the military for two years. Of course there were deferrments for men who were married. But, soon that was done away with and only men married with children were deferred.

Post WWII things were different. And people wanted the GI bill to go to college before all the govt. giveaway education programs for those who didn't serve.
