Military Benefits Cpl. 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 Cpl. Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain decided one day to stand in the back of the room to observe and listen to Jones' sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the room full of new recruits, and then said: ""If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government will 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 enlistees do you think they are going to send into battle first?""
