What's with these shit posts lately? This is specifically talking about using the "GI bill," (actual name is The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944) which is certain benefits provided in exchange​ for active duty military service. Education is just one of those benefits, access to special loans is another. It's one of the reasons why people sign up for military service in the first place. It's something that is earned, not given.

The argument presented here is you are allowed to use your GI Bill to learn to be a HVAC technician so why shouldn't you be able to use it to learn to be a software engineer? Incidentally, this article is pretty pointless anyways because you actually can learn to be a software engineer with your GI Bill you just have to go to an accredited traditional college or university. They even mention there are "boot camps" that are becoming accredited. Even so, I question how much you can actually learn in less than six months, certainly not enough for a real career in software in my opinion, I base that on my own journey learning and my decade plus experience in industry. I think the point of this article is something like "coding is the new blue collar" or something else irrelevant.
