Sure, the military has excellant education benefits but its never been a requirement to serve, to get education benefits such as scholarships.
I'm talking about that as the option.. not meaning it's a requirement. why not open up that same kind of scholarship program for them to serve in other areas besides just the military.

I mean why not let them serve as volunteer firemen, citizen police ect..ect.. to get the same benefit for their college education. They would then be serving their local communities or states vs having only the military as a option for that kind of scolarship program.

For many kids in this country, the military really is the only option so why not give them a few others?
