Quote:My point was that you do get a formal education along with military training. The education was just part of the whole of the experience but a crucial one. One that is similar to a formal education at a university just without the job and boots.  That's all I was getting at. Also in your case they paid you and in civilians case they pay for the education. 

 

I get your point.  I would probably argue that the education that I got is better than than a formal education at a university, but that's an entirely different topic.

 

Perhaps we should try to direct this thread back to the original intentions (somewhat).  Let's talk about what potential presidential candidates want to do regarding education.
