"Many join the military for the education/benefits, but never want to go to war. "

And many of us know those are the wrong reasons. Gulf War I taught a lesson to many.

The Military will give you education and benefits, but those are contingent upon your type of duty and time constraints. Those that have the time to go to school are usually the admin. types that have the coushie 9-5 hours. I worked 12 hour shifts and my shift happened to cut into class time... And your shift could change mid semester which required you to drop class and get a "W" or an "I" for that class...wasn't worth going. First a soldier/Airman/Marine/Sailor..Student second.

I'm talking about military technical training. During the Vietnam era, the best electronic/communication education you could get, was in the Navy. 18 months of school prior to going to the fleet.
