Fun fact, the GI bill is a revenue generating scam. Meaning, it makes more money than it pays out. I didnt know until bootcamp you have to PAY to get the gi bill and then they make it as complicated as possible to use so most people never end up using it. Under capitalism nothing happens unless someone's making money.
- herewulf 3y agoFUD. I don't recall paying anything into the (Montgomery) GI Bill. It wasn't hard to use. I got $50K of basically free money out. Granted I went to basic training over two decades ago. Maybe the Post 9/11 GI Bill is different? But I doubt it. What I've heard from fellow veterans is it's better in so many ways. Apparently I'm even eligible for a year of its use even though I depleted my original GI Bill (with kicker).

- astura 3y agoIt's not complicated to use. The most difficult part for most people is staying in school, which is made significantly easier by not having to pay for it.
- parineum 3y ago> Under capitalism... Which part of capitalism causes the government to scam the state funded military. There doesn't appear to be any private ownership of capital involved at all.
- kylebenzle 3y agoI am not sure why the GI Bill started out as a free benefit, then they changed it into a revenue generating scheme. Its odd to say the least but wouldnt you agree that it at least "makes sense" under capitalism that the military is trying to increase its revenue streams?
