Support Senator Webb's New GI Bill

The National commander of the American Legion, Harry Colmery, was the architect of the original GI Bill. He asked a question that is as resonant today as it was then: "If we can spend 200 to 300 billion dollars to teach our men and women to kill, why quibble over a billion or so to help them to have the opportunity to earn economic independence and to enjoy the fruits of freedom?"

Sen. Schumer (D-NY) is on board with this, too. I blogged about it today at http://veterans.lohudblogs.com.
