    Someone was just telling me yesterday about how so many ROTC students get promised tuition paid for, only to find out later for some stupid reason they were disqualified. They made it seem like it’s a very common thing.

    Military recruiting continues to trend down in the U.S. but one area of growth against that was legal immigrants and children of illegal immigrants.

    I’d wager we’ll have a lot fewer of those folks to recruit in the coming years.

    I don’t know if it’s still like this, but the national guard being called up currently, are probably paying out of their own pocket to be there. These local call-ups aren’t usually paid that well.

    It would be better if they would kill the people making college tuition hard to get instead of killing people so their oppressors could gain even more power.
