So do you consider a High School dropout and a Veteran of the military to be the same in your eyes? Take a moment and do this little test with yourself.

1. Close your eyes, say out loud “High School Dropout”  and notice what image and thought that comes to mind.
2. Now open your eyes for a second, then close them and say very loud “Military Combat Veteran” and see what image comes to mind and what thoughts you have.
3. Are they the same? Do you consider them one in the same? If so, then you are probably an elected representative that worked on the Stimulus bill.
4. If they are not the same images and thoughts, then head over to http://www.soldiersperspective.us/2009/02/17/about-those-uneducated-troops/ and see what I am talking about.

   I will point out that sometimes they /are/ the same, though, and that’s not always a bad thing. We’ve had a lot of soldiers who dropped out of high school, or left early to try to go to college and got their GED, but are still outstanding soldiers and served very honorably-including in combat.
