I find it interesting that you're all about freedom of choice and
personal responsibility, but the above quote doesn't seem to recognize
that joining the military is a choice, as is having children while in
the military.
Anyway, I think your point here is a red herring. If education is
entirely privatized, schools will follow the money, and poor areas
won't have the pull for really great education. The military, by the
way, doesn't pay its troops all that well.
