New GI Bill Offers Major Benefits to Veterans

<p>It is interesting that the Bush administration was strongly opposed to this. Wny? Because they felt it would encourage troops to leave the military for college, among other reasons. Thank goodness congress saw the light.</p>

<p>As a veteran who used GI Bill for grad school years ago, my biggest beef with the new plan is that it is just not generous enough.</p>

<p>With the demographics of the military these days, these kids need financial help for college far more than my generation did. I sure hope this is enough.</p>

<p>One other note is how some private unis have been rather strong armed to “contribute” to vets education. I applaud those that stepped up to the plate, but thing it could have been handled much better than it was.</p>
