Not feeling sorry for them. Rather, I’m creating a path where those who have ALREADY benefited from a US education can PAY BACK the nation and show their gratitude by serving in the military.

If successful in that endeavor, they have shown themselves to have the drive and discipline to be valuable contributors to our American way of life and will have a high probability of wanting to sustain that way of life for posterity.

I understand your point. It is not a matter of them paying back what they've stolen now. Relenting to them because they are situationally 'sympathetic' (i.e., how come these stories are about gifted 'students' are about girls - no boys) is simply just another toe over the 'full-amnesty' line for the rest of them. ANY allowance you give them opens the precedent door for others - and there will be MANY

At this time, I don't want them to pay back, not in the form you suggest, rather 'paying back' by going the hell home.
