The costs are more than repaid by the increased productivity of soldier/sailors/airmen/coast guardsmen returning to civilian lives.
Of course, it is also a Democrat attempt to attack the weak Republican record of support for veterans, but the bean counters (and Rummy, good riddance) left their flank open by ommission. I miss the Reagan Era Republican leadership as opposed to the current ship of fools.

December 12, 2007, 10:30am (report abuse)Sec. 3313 (2) should be removed from this bill.
Are we not good enough for a graduate degree? The only stipulation should be the benefit period of 36 months and the required service.

Have you read either of the bills I'm just curious b/c those really are the only stipulations. If your curious just type in s.22 or hr 5651 into google and read the full bill. I'm sure you can figure it out.
