Over 5 million post-9/11 service members are expected to transition out of the military
by 2020. Since the enactment of the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008, Americans have invested
over $42 billion on educating many of these transitioning service members. However,
little is known about student veterans and their enrollment characteristics at a time
when higher education and policymakers need to better understand the needs of this
growing, posttraditional undergraduate population.

It should be more.
Why anyone would leave this amazing benefit unused is beyond me.

Agreed, Jerry. While all of the services, at least within the past 10 years, are making as part of their mission to promote education (for advancement, or to merely be competitive as a candidate for retention), more can be done to emphasize the value of pursuing a college degree or vocational certification.
