  Gotta entice them somehow. 'Think of the places you’ll be able to visit across the world. And we offer paid tuition.* *Must survive your contract with the U.S. Government who will send you into battle at the drop of a hat, a drop of oil barrel or the rise of a military/president’s ego, to take advantage of offer.

  Flip side of that: the government needs strong incentives to convince people to get blown up or shot at while on the job.

  Anyone working public service can get have their loans paid off after 10 years. It’s not just military service.
