Arguably the US military's biggest recruiting tool is offering to pay off your student loans if you join.

I never had student loans but I got my degree without a cent of debt which is nice. The guard/reserves get very similar bennys as active in that regard so honestly it was fairly enjoyable. It also showed me why you don't want a government in charge of large parts of your life if you can help it. With the layers of paperwork, red tape and regulations it's amazing how anything gets done at all.

I wonder if some kind of mandatory service would have to be implemented if student loan forgiveness was ever pushed through?
