@200times_ I have many friends who joined US army. 90% of them did not finish their undergrad, were suffering economically or with their lives. 10% had degrees but either could not land a job or could not convince their employer to sponsor for H1B or GC. While I firmly believe that not everyone has guts to join army, but I also believe that those Nepalese students who joined army did it just to make their life easy (took the easiest route in my personal opinion for immigration benefit). I personally have nothing against those who joined army, but again I do not have any respect for them either (I know probably neither you or I give a shit about this). So in my personal opinion if you can take the easiest route by joining army than SUSHANT can also take the easier route by coming here for master degree. Just my 2 cents.
