I know numerous people personally that did just that, im sure plenty of others itt know some as well.
I stand by what I said, im firmly against giving people who made uniformed not so smart choices a reset with our collective tax dollars.

I personally dont know anyone who did the things you said but I also went to a completely non partying school.

I know plenty of former college friends who are in crippling debt.
I also recall those same friends partying every night and traveling every summer and not working at all while in college.
Its a slap in the face to just erase their debt while others worked all through college to minimize their debt.

Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

The first thing is.......how much chit and debt did they incur after college. Did they jump right into the nice cars, big houses and toys after college?
I get a tax deduction just by hanging out here

So how can they not figure out that if you don't pay MORE THAN JUST THE INTEREST PAYMENTS YOU WILL NEVER GET RID OF THE DEBT?? For real, how is this shocking to them? I don't understand. Literally a 6th grader could pull up a pay off calculator and figure out what it would take to pay off a balance in 5 years, 10 years, or 20 years. These people easily could pay off their loans if they utilized an extra 10 hours a week driving uber or bartending on the weekends or anything really. They choose not to because they are entitled and don't think they should not have to be responsible for the debt they signed for at the interest rate they signed for.
What was the point of going to college if, when graduated, you aren't smart enough to figure out how to pay off a dam loan??

So I told them there absolutely is a way. The military paid for my education and I took out $0 in loans. But then the argument changes to something like...
"There has to be a way to go to college without debt or signing your life away to the military! If only there was a way..."

It's no wonder they can't pay it back when they're getting 7% of the principle charged as interestevery single month.
Oh...wait, that's retarded? Yeah, just like everything else that tries to garner sympathy for me towards people with massive student debt, it's all based on lies.

My dad went to college and med school, paid for by the US Army, and served 8 years to pay it all back.
I was fortunate enough to grow up with some means since my dad made that sacrifice and became a doctor with zero debt.
He changed his family's fortunes in one generation by doing that deal with the Army.

Brb 15% interest on a brand new $40k car that will depreciate down to fuking nothing - and then finance another one just because.

Typical irresponsible leftist moocher mindset. I guess it's my fault that you rawdogged and busted inside some street prostitute, and now have to pay her child support. Poor you. And I bet the same applies for the rest of your irresponsible leftist lifestyle choices, because there's no fuking way you live paycheck to paycheck while making $100K unless you waste money on stupid things.

I also joined the National Guard when I got out of the Army so I was able to take advantage of both. In fact because of that, not only was my education paid for, but I even had enough for living expenses and only worked during the summer.

I enjoyed college and have great memories, but no way was the education/job part worth the loans.

Why should they be on the hook for the decisions of people whodidgo to college?
Combine them with the "responsibles" and we're probably talking about 98%+ of the country paying for the bad decisions of the 2%.

In fact, a lot of people don't realize it, but there are some seriously cushy jobs in the military - all branches. For instance, when I was in Germany there was a dentist who used to work out in the gym with us.. The Army paid for his education, and he filled cavities during the day to fulfill his obligation. Homeboy was also a triathlete who thought nothing of getting on his bicycle and riding to France or Austria on the weekend.. And there are tons of other military doctors and lawyers just like that who play golf, or indulge some other hobby.. None of those fukers will ever see combat - it's literally not their job.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

I had an eye exam in Iraq, by an actual optometrist. There are also plenty of dentists and lawyers who deploy. I'd say during the 2002-2010 time period, there wasn't really any field that was non-deployable.

Very few go outside the wire to close with and destroy. And for every one that does, there are probably hundreds who never leave a FOB - or even make it as far out as a FOB.
