How do you feel about about the people who attend one of the five Federal Serivce Acadamies and receive a $250,000 education, which is paid by the tax payer?
Academies are necessary to educate the young, military leaders they produce. Academy members are fairly compensated for the sacrifice they make to attend. Also, do your research. Academy members earn every "$487,000" of education they receive. Arbitrary facts and mispellings in the prompt take away from the validity of your discussion. @JackEdward- you're entitled to the exact same education, had you chosen a military career path. Soldiers sacrifice safety and comfort to defend this country and join the top 1% because they've worked hard to get there.
And there is no need to insult me about my misspelling of "academies."
So if you work hard, you deserve to join the top 1% is what your saying?
love it
Why do you love it? Why are they entitled to a free education? And isn't all the money we spend on them increasing the federal deficit? Many of them join the 1% after they leave the military anyway.
