Yes, but he's making it more widely known that ethics are optional for them. This is exactly why we can't have nice things.FrioAg 00 said:

Earning is serving under the terms of your agreed upon contract and then getting the benefits in return as spelled out in that contract. I used my post 9/11 gi bill for grad school. Then the army said "here have another $40k for loans".
So I took out loans and used it.

You don't understand what service means. I'm at 13 years in, and of those I've been away from family whether at training or overseas for 25 months. The military has some amazing benefits as it is, and we do earn them, but there is no reason to commit a crime to get yourself a free 40k. Wrong is wrong and you should know that.
The language in the contract assumes a good faith effort on your part. In no way were those enlistment contracts written to be a 40k down payment on a truck.
In many ways this is the issue right here, people think loans are free money. The idea of paying them back doesn't really seem to click with them.
Perhaps we need a return of debtors prison in order to remind folks that there are real consequences for not being responsible. Even this whole "declare" bankruptcy thing has become an escape valve for irresponsible people.

I was once a duty appointed retention NCO. Crime? GTFO. The language in the contract assumes nothing. It's brief and clear regarding SLRP.

You can say whatever you want and I don't care. The army will run right over you and your family without thinking twice. I take whatever flesh I'm owed. And I share what I do with those I serve with and help them do the same. I never break regulation and always do what I'm asked. But if the army holds me to BS regs, I'll do the same in return.
All of those people in know I mentioned earlier in this thread that think like you also have one other common trait; a sense of entitlement to justify wrongdoing. Not surprised I am seeing it in some of these statements as well.Teslag said:Jack Ruby said:

I am fine with his scenario as long as we take away the government backing for the loans. That puts the lender in position to lose $750k if they are dumb enough to lend it, and will make them a very interested party in contesting the bankruptcy. You don't just get to go to the court and claim bankruptcy and poof the loans are gone. You have to prove that you are in no position to pay off the loans and have no ability to get them restructured so that you can. I am willing to bet that a court is going to take a dim view of somebody making $300k per year claiming they can't pay off their loan, especially when the lender agrees to give them an extra 10 years to do it (with interest of course).halfastros81 said:
This business of taking out $750k in loans for education setting you up for a very nice life and income and declaring bankruptcy to get out of it, this doesn't bother you at all ?
It's not as if you won't have the means to repay.

Dude, just take the L and move on. You were proud to announce how you took $40k worth of taxpayer money that was intended to help with education and spent it to buy a truck. Nobody here thinks you are clever and witty for doing it and nobody admires you for pulling one over on uncle sam with our money. What you did may not have been illegal, but it is sleazy and unethical and we all think worse of you for it. No need to keep trumpeting how sleazy and unethical you are. We get it. You have no moral compass and think you did nothing wrong. You aren't convincing anybody of anything else at this point.Teslag said:American Hardwood said:All of those people in know I mentioned earlier in this thread that think like you also have one other common trait; a sense of entitlement to justify wrongdoing.

It's an entitlement if it's part of an employee contract

And when you can't pay it, it can be discharged in a bankruptcy as well. Make student loans the same as every other investment related loan, and the comparison is valid.
