A positive effect of promising working class youths a free education for enlisting in the military is that it draws many more people to enlist. The reason that so many more people enlist because of this is that many people don't care about defending their country but rather reaping the benefits of being in the military. According to Gibbs and Stengel, Jessica Lynch says that it "would be cool if [she] could have a job plus go to school at the same time" (1). This quote is an example of how many soldiers feel when enlisting. The option of free education for enlisting is also a great option for those who cannot financially go to college.
A positive effect of promising working class youths free world travel for enlisting in the military is that it will attract people who nwant adventure in life but cannot neccessarily afford it. This yet again attracts more people to join the military. Without incentives such as these, much less people would want to join the military and our military forces would be much less powerful and affective.
