I’m such a fool. Always thought that it was the responsible thing to do. And gain personal satisfaction.

Nope. Now simply wait it out and let taxpayers pay some of it for you. Darn it.
Prior to my Coast Guard retirement, I ran an office in Boston. Most of the men and women working for me joined the Coast Guard and requested to work in Boston because they got free tuition at any state school there. So, they chose to serve their country by day and study at night to better themselves.
So, who got the better education…those who went through boot camp and worked by day and studied by night…or those who got handouts?
