Happy Memorial Day to everyone. I hope you ate as well as I did: smoked ribs...so good.
I was happy to see the media focus on the GI Bill today, given its relevance to the holiday. Hopefully we will see much more coverage in the days and weeks to come.
I find the conservative argument against the bill curious. They say it will deplete our forces, but I know I would be more willing to sign up if I knew the government was going to set me up with home loans and college tuition after I serve. After all, our problem isn't with retaining troops, it is with recruiting soldiers during two wars that have no end in the immediate future and a potential future war with Iran. Silly Republicans.
Update: The New York Times agrees.
