I grew up in poverty in the mountains of NC. I ate out of a garden, lived in government housing, shopped at yard sales. I joined the Air Force. Earned my GI BILL. I attained 4 degrees and created my own version of the American Dream. I am not responsible for your student debt.

The GI Bill is the point! That was govt funding your education. So the rest of us DID pay for your education. FDR wanted it for everyone but the G.I. Bill for veterans was all he was able to get through Congress. It helped build a middle-class then and would help rebuild it now

The GI Bill is an earned benefit. The GI bill is not a handout. Soldiers work way more hours than our pay represents. You want that benefit, earn it.

You deserve it, yes, but so do others who also contribute and are doing what they can to have a chance at contributing more.

Then they can serve the same way I did. Or, they can take the Public service loan forgiveness plan that is offered. Not so someone can have a free ride to make more money for themselves at no benefit to me.

Did they risk their lives? The biggest challenge they have is which Starbucks is the closest. You haven’t a clue

Let them be willing to die for their country . They have the same chance as I or any other vet but you are willing to reward them for just being born .
