I say the same about community service. Do it because you truly want to, not because you're checking it off on a resume or to get $$ for college. That isn't "service" from my vantage point.
This is why we don't put you in charge of the military, since if the US was a volunteer only force without the GI bill, we wouldn't have nearly the number of soldiers required to "protect America's interests" around the world.
