Does the military have room for even 1 million of the 44 million affected people that might take that offer? I don't see how it would be more cost effective that way, the military will still have to pay them a salary and the cost of living. I finished college at 36 years old and was married with two teenagers and a pregnant wife, would they want me at that age? The average college grad in 2022 was 26.4 years old, would they want someone that age? I'm not opposed to the idea, but does it make sense in light of those questions?

I read today the top five universities will cost $90K. That's absurd.

There are plenty of people who go into the armed forces to pay for their education. They go to college on Uncle Sam and go into the military as officers to serve their time. 

There are too many ways higher education and the government sponge off of each other for anyone to end that relationship. Similar to politicians and lobbyists. The government would rather forgive loans than piss off these indoctrination centers.
