I am a democrat, I am anti-unjustified war, but damn it, give these guys what they deserve. A chance to recover their losses at home. They need the help. Numerous tours of duty. Sand shoved up their wazoo. Loss of income and jobs. Emotional hardship. Stress on their families. How much more crap do they have to take. They have earned the right to recieve some extra help from US!!!! If you agree or disagree with the war does not matter. The personal sacrifice of these soldiers supercedes everything else. If we as Coloradans and Americans can't do this for our young men and women in the services, then shame on us. |
Emotional hardships...definitely....Family stress...most assuredly. Sand in their wazoo...undoubtedly..... Loss of income? I would make more money if I was in Iraq...a LOT more.
I may be mistaken but I thought military people went to school for free anyway. We have 100% tuition assistance while on duty and can use the GI Bill after duty. The GI Bill is only 39,000 so it might not be enough. The TA and GI Bill also covers lab fees, apprenticeship programs, tech schools and a host of other things. A lot of schools will also give you a break on tuition if you are military. I just enrolled for an online class through Devry and it's 500.00 PER credit hour (3 cr hour class) and the Army is paying for it. Soldiers can still go to school though with their GI Bill and TA.
