Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center, where
he advised new recruits about their government benefits,
especially their GI insurance.

It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones
had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had
never happened before.

Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back
of the room and  listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones
explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits,
and then said, "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle
and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your
beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into
battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a
maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded," which bunch do you think they are
going to send into battle first?"
