Insanity! The crowd gobbled it up and was smitten cause it is so pro-american. While Obama voted for more options and college education for the men and women who served in active duty. Somehow that is not american.

This - above all - is reprehensible. If there had not been a GI Bill in 1968 when my husband and I got married - neither of us would have the education that we have now. Those few hundred dollars a month allowed us to start our university education as long as we both worked part time. These days we are both civil engineers and have paid lots of taxes to the government for 35 years.
An educated population is far more desirable (in my opinion) than people who are afrad to leave the military because they can't get a job without an education. And I personally don't consider that stand pro- American - if anything it's anti-family and anti-american.
