many private businesses offer the same perk, with various assistance levels from 0 to 100%...
I'm not implying that, I'm stating that. Veterans don't get a cash equivalent if they choose not to go to college on the GI bill just like high school grads wouldn't get a cash payment if they choose not to take the government up on the offer.. Its above and beyond military pay and not counted as such.
