Would two years of free community college affect military recruiting?

To all my recruiters, what do you think about the idea of 2 years of free community college? And do you think that will affect the USAR market? Civilian knowing that they will have 2yrs free, instead of join the service.?

I think it would. But more so in a positive affect. I'd imagine more soldiers will come in with college credit earned. Maybe more starting out as E3 or E4

I believe military members already get it. Between service acquired credit (ie tech schools) tuition assistance, GI bill ; some get loan repayment program. All this stuff usually covers at least four years. Also some states give you free attendance at state-run colleges/universities if you join their National Guard.
