"Officials in charge of Pentagon personnel worry that a more generous and expansive GI Bill would create an incentive for troops to get out of the military and go to college."Truth-seekers... read the last sentence, AGAIN.

Let it swish around your skull for a few minutes, and then you'll know what to say the next time a Republican wants to look down their nose at you.
"Fuck John McCain."Please visit my anti-war website, www.shockedandawful.com. It's a time consuming one-man venture, and keeping my little site going is all I can think to do to end this rotten war, other than marching on Washington with torches. I ain't sellin' nuthin' but the truth, folks - and that I'm giving away for free. Make sure you look for my playlist.com anti-war juke-box - chuck full of lots of contemporary anti-war songs!!! I'm very proud of putting it all together.
PEACE.
