The retention excuse is a bunch of crap, I was an Army Ranger I can tell you the main reason why highly trained experienced guys get out is because: THEY ARE GOING TO GET OUT NO MATTER WHAT ANYWAYS...

Also, when you have contractors like Blackwater dishing out tens of thousands of dollars for 6 months of work wouldn't that be an even bigger threat to retention? Gee, I can work for blackwater, do what I want with no rules, do what I alread know how to do and rake in the case??

McBullshit...

If your looking into joining the military to pay for college your better off going national guard or reserves.

You can get 75%-100% scholarship depending on the state you serve in, the gi bill, and the gi bill kicker. With the amount of benefits you receive from these three programs it is more than enough to cover tuition. You can also apply for pell grants and federal loans to help cover cost of living.

For those who don't know, things have been in motion for years to transfer GI Bill benefits to the family members (wife, child) if the servicemember decided to do so. Not ALL veterans/activate duty/reserve want to go to college. At the time the servicemember joins they are promised $50k(roughly.) They are also not informed that college tuition rates are rising faster than inflation. The current GI Bill is getting further and further behind the curve.

If you are going to school right now, the GI Bill will not save you from a heavy bundle of loans. By the time a servicemember's child goes on to college, the cost of college may be crippling even with student loans.

McCain wants people to stay in so that he has a force to wage war with. If he gets into office, we will be fighting a war on three fronts: Iraq, Afghanistan, and...Iran.

And our economy will be further in the toilet than it is now.

As an Army Brat, and proud of it, and as someone who has worked for the Department of Defense for more than 3 decades...I feel strongly that any American who is posted to a combat environment should receive a GI Bill that will provide monies to attend a four-year institution, and a special, low-interest government sponsored loan for graduate school.

Uh huh.. your level of intelligence reduces you to single words that you cannot spell right.

No. You are wrong. I have been tested and I am not. Furthermore, unlike you, I actually know how to spell the word. So whatever level of intelligence I have , it is above yours.

This fellow asks his question well, but too long.

And he is whining about not getting enough money for college even though he is getting most of it paid for. He wants a full ride scholarship for serving just a few years. I dont agree with that at all. I agree with McCain.

McCain doesn't know what this guy's talking about! LOL We don't need another dumb president people, vote for Obama.
