Why George Bush is against the GI Bill

[formercia]

He says giving educational benefits would encourage soldiers to not re-enlist and go to school rather than making the military a career.

I guess you stay in until you die or are so badly disabled you can't be recycled back into combat.

The real reason is that a large number of educated and hardened former veterans are a real competition to the bottle-fed and whiny spawn of the elite who were too good to go into the military.

If you were an employer and you had to chose between some sure to complain about everything frat boy or a veteran who says "yes sir" and goes and gets the job done; Who would you pick?

1. And -- money.

Our servicemen and women don't deserve the extra $$$.

2. Can't take money from his buddies at KBR

and give it to someone who deserves it, can we? :sarcasm:


Just showing again that it's all about class warfare.

3. So, George, how did we manage to maintain a career cadre

all during the era of the original GI bill? And during times when civilian employment opportunities were a hellva lot better than they are now. And a much better deal with the bill, too.

Could it be that the first termers are bailing because they're getting screwed in every orifice by your maladminstration?

4. How did the GOP sheep respond to this?

Besides swallowing it whole?
