Military Life Insurance

[Engsetter]

PFC 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 PFC Jones was
having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling
insurance to nearly 100% of the recruits he advised.
Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the
back of the room and listened to Jones' 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 $500,000 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 group do you think they
are going to send into battle first?"
