Most veterans would be happy about the reformed GI Bill, but the passage is attached to the new war-funding bill which will perpetuate the occupation for the next commander-in-chief who comes into office. I feel that this is merely a hollow victory, which costs outweigh its benefits.
It will come with no relief to the next soldier/sailor/airmen/marine that is killed. It’s just one more way for this administration, to stain our hands; we have been victimized by the system yet again. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
