Boudreaux, the smoothest-talking Cajun in the Louisiana National Guard, got called up to active duty. His first assignment was in a military induction center, and because he was a good talker they assigned him to advise recruits about government benefits, especially the GI insurance to which they were entitled. His commanding officer soon noticed that Boudreaux was getting a 99% sign-up rate for the more expensive supplemental form of GI insurance. This was remarkable because it cost these low-income recruits $30 per month for the higher coverage, compared to what the government was providing at no charge. The officer decided to look into this. he sat in the back of the room at the next briefing to observe Boudreauxs technique. Boudreaux stood up before the inductees and said, If you has da normal GI insurance and you goes to war and gets youself killed, da governmen pays you benefishery twenty tousan dollas. If you takes out da supplemental insurans, which cost you only tirty dollars a munt, den da governmen gots to pay you benefishery fo hunnert tousan dollas! Now, Boudreaux concluded, which folks do you tink dey gonna send to combat first?
