Does McCain Have a Vets Problem? - TIME |
McCain is absolutely correct, and here's why...
The Democrats are pushing a bill that gives two things that are more detrimental to the government than helpful...
1) If someone in the military becomes eligible for college tuition but dies, the tuition can be transferred to that person's wife or kids...
Bull****!...Being a member of a military family (while honorable) is not the same a being a member of the military...This would cost the government millions (billions) for an education to people that didn't even sign up...
And MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more important...
The Democrats are pushing for FULL college tuition to people who've served in the military for as little as 3 years...
Pushing costs aside for a second, do you realize what that would actually DO to the military??????
No. one. would. want. to.
STAY!!!!!
Doing this is giving every person in the military an incentive TO LEAVE THE MILITARY!!!
Why on earth would a military person WANT to stay in the service of their country when their country is giving away free degrees to the private sector?!?!?!
This crap will cause a DESERTION from military members who would otherwise stay and move up the ranks...That will cause a complate lack of qualified officers within 10 years and a major negative turn in the amount of people who re-enlist...
America loses...
