Gary_the_Writer stop being bitter. Your service is greatly appreciated today and as was during the Cold War. Also, why do you feel and think this new GI bill to be a handout?
As I said you are just bitter. You and The Shadow Knows are bitter because Uncle Sam shortchanged both of you at the time of your military service.
Just be honest, you guys don't want to see the current soldiers receive better treatment. In fact, you guys want every current and new soldiers coming in to receive the lowest and minimum benefit they can ever receive. If you guys are in Congress, I have no doubt in my mind you guys would pass a law stopping the pension or any bill that would increase any benefit for all those soldiers who came in in the 1990s just to say "for fiscal budgeting sake."
Yea, stop hiding your bitterness. This is another classic example of a fight between the haves and have-nots. Sir, I am disappointed at your selfish attitude and you are trying too hard to justify to yourself and to others why the United States of America should not give an all-volunteer US military armed forces the benefit of an all expense paid college education. College education even after all the exceptions has been said in the end of the day really contributes to the betterment in society and especially in economy.
Sir, as a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom with 3 years active duty, 6 months tour (2003) and currently serving in the Army Reserve who will be deploying later this year for a 1 year tour to Iraq - let me say this, I want that college degree so badly even if I have to starve from time to time just not to end up like The Shadows Knows or like any veteran who just gave up. I am currently a junior in college, but hey, the Army Reserve do not care about that and because of obligation/duty I have to go.
Graduation year moved again, guessing I'll be 28 by the time I graduate. But hey, you don't want me to get any extra help in fact you want me to experience what you went through like being in debt and sometimes bitter against the government who will lie through their teeth just to screw the current generation of soldiers. It is just like Viet-nam all over again just because the majority of the US population do not like the current war this does not give the public and politicians the right to automatically screw the soldiers over and over again.
Basically, this is what I got from you guys of old age "cry me a river" and "stop whining." When in reality, current young soldiers who served for 4 years of their lives who gets out at the age of 22 faces a world with increasing expenses from gas, food, and rent while being paid the lowest wage that can be earned then they have Uncle Sam's current GI BILL that is mediocre which is supposedly to help soldiers get a 4 year college degree is a broad misconception that in truth is an outright lie in today's age.
