You are correct, but there are still a handful of industries where those degrees are still necessary and you won't go anywhere otherwise. A lot of Engineering subsets come to mind, especially as a lot guys I knew who enlisted had passions and dreams in those types of fields.
And the Military knows that is its biggest value. Back when I was fresh out of high school and getting the Standard Daily Calls from every branch that was their first question and pitch. They pushed it so hard that it actively pushed me away from possibly joining out of pride at the implication I couldn't pay for fucking college without them (paid off my degree 2 months before graduation, fuck anyone who needs forgiveness).
But if you don't have one of those specific dreams, it offers basically no value for you that isn't a huge trap.
