  Sander's article provides an opportunity to see the G.I. Bill from different perspectives. Paul Szoldra provides his first hand perspective of the difficulties he had understanding how to use his benefits because he was college illiterate. None of his family had gone to college, nor had his direct military leadership. He was left to do research on his own, through Google. From the military's perspective, a culture that prides itself on duty, honor and respect doesn't translate to support those who are planning to leave the military. It's kind of like quitting a team, teammates become former teammates, they aren't responsible for taking care of you anymore. The DOD provides an overview week of training that covers important topics: health insurance, benefits, resume writing, and various other categories. From an economic standpoint, many colleges have targeted veteran student because of their education benefits provide guaranteed tuition and fees. Student veterans are very familiar with online schools due to being targeting while in the service. Online education is prevalent for military members because of its flexibility during training missions and deployments. Transitioning veterans are also in need of flexibility due need for job searches, health-care appointments, and other adult responsibilities.
