What is it about America? Does America's education system just suck?

[CaseyTheAthie]

Far as I'm concerned you do whatcha gotta do. You CAN deal with it. Hell for 50k in loan my minimum payment was 100 a month. Even working a minimum wage job all that would be is cutting some damn grass on off days. Still don't think it's a good excuse.

I believe you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. No matter how well the paying conditions might be, a country and a nation should provide for the education of the children of the country. Even a dollar of debt each month is not a good thing in my eyes.
Do not misunderstand me. These might sound like words of a communist, but these are actually ideals that should be associated with anyone who loves his country and nation, and wants it to grow. For a nation to grow, it needs educated people. Why does America feel the need to constantly attract scientists from around the world? Are they so incompetent as to raise their own?
I certainly think that it ought to have something to do with these educational fees, otherwise people would not feel the need to go and join the army for the army to pay the education fees, which puts people of ambition and perhaps great skill and intelligence into the fireline, and steals valuable time from them.

Man, if that is an ideal then everyone in the south should be given a car to drive because the distances between places are so far apart(bet it would lower unemployment there too). 90% of the jobs in the Military (I hate it when people think there is only the gay ass army) are no where near being the firing line. Half the time when you get vets these days telling you wild combat stories they are complete b/s there was VERY little of the hardcore shit going on and unless they were infantry OR one of those that were deployed early on they didn't see 'the shit' as they say in the movies.
