In a proper society with socialist benefits, you wouldn't need to join the military to receive those benefits.

Basically, those are employer benefits. Your employer happens to be the US government, and you get healthcare, college tuition and housing as benefits from your employer.

Basically, those are employer benefits.

No, in a socialist society those are anyone's benefits, provided by the state (by virtue of people paying taxes).
They're not provided by employers.
