Let's watch the MAGA's heads explode explaining this one:

16. I was raised on a military base, which also had housing for civilians.

What we paid in rent was a joke. Next to nothing. The commissary was cheap and there was lots of merchandise to select from.

With what he made, my dad managed to put four kids through college, a fifth through trade school. Granted, our childhood was whatever did not cost any money. My dad didn't even pay for my younger brother's football gear because he decided that we were not an athletic family. So, extra-curricular activities were triaged.

Bottomline, we lived a life overseas on a US military base, and because of the sacrifices that were made, we got the educations that would trampoline us into a "normal" life once we returned to the U.S.

Such an opportunity would never have been possible in a private job in the U.S. There were perks that were near impossible to find Stateside. You have just accepted that you earned them, but the point is that it was a major incentive and it shows that conservatives aren't above using socialistic options when they want to reach an objective.
