New GI Bill Offers Major Benefits to Veterans

<p>Roger,</p>

<p>Yes, politics rears its ugly head when people say everything is wonderful and don’t present a balanced view. Bashing Bush is easy…a lot of bashing is deserved, but Jim Webb never saw a party switch to gain power he didn’t like.</p>

<p>Trouble with this GI bill is it rewards “two/three/four/six and outs” almost exclusively unless you are enlisting now. Where is the tranferability for the vet, sitting at WRAMC, blinded and paralyzed? Maybe he has been in 10 years and has a 12 year old daughter he would love to send to college…no sorry, Mr. Disabled Combat Vet, your sacrifice won’t allow you something which may give you some joy six or seven years from now, when most of the people with the yellow ribbon magnets on their car have forgotten about you. Disgraceful? You bet it is. This was supposed to help all veterans…it doesn’t.</p>
