Interesting, because the GI BILL completely paid for my undergrad degree, and paid for a full year of my graduate degree this year. You get more money if you are a full time student. Granted, I want the new bill to pass just as much as anyone else in the service, but it is possible to pay for your education with it. I got $1011 per month for the active duty GI BILL while I was enrolled full time. This was without paying the extra $600 for a better monthly rate.

"Real pieces of work?" I have seen entire Pyles. And I don't even mean of the Gomer variety.

I assume the Marine was trying to pass himself off as a heroe from the first Miniture Gulf war.
Boy that musta been ruff.

Thanks for your near nonexistent service to us all.

For the record, military personnel pay taxes just like everyone else. In fact, our retirement pay is taxed as well. Get sick of reading comments about military being deadbeats or losers that the honest tax payer is supporting. As to the GI Bill: it changed 3 times while I was on active duty; fortunately, I was under the old GI Bill that paid for education expenses without having to pay into it. I worked part-time while attending college and I did not expect the GI Bill to pay for all of my living expenses, just those directly related to attending college (books, tuition, etc). Inflation and the current economy make it much harder for vets to pursue their educational goals, especially in areas with higher tuitions and cost of living expenses. So, while $1180 might work in one situation, it might not in another. Just my two cents and change.

My one concern is that: "making a full college tuition available to those that join, WILL ENTICE MORE TO JOIN"... thats not what I want.... especially when our government is so easily willing to mis-use those that sign up.
Both Gulf Wars, Vietnam, possibly Korea, Afghanistan, and most probably IRAN (coming soon to a war theater near you) were never needed. I would sooner see the ADMIN run out of voluntary troops. If they re-instate the Draft especially under these policies of starting uneeded wars, we might see some real "CHANGE" in policy, as the tough- talkers might not talk so tough when its thier kids who must carry the rifles, or when the kids of voting age realize its themselves who will have to march in the desert or ride in vehicles facing IED's or sniper's bullets and rpg's. The article seemed to insinuate that the 911 attacks were of foreign origin "I am not at all convinced of that".

I always find it curious that people use the rhetoric of "there has been no terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11" as evidence of curbing terrorist activity and increased national security under the watchful eyes of the Bush administration (and supported by McCain). What the truth is that in the _225_ years prior to 9/11 we had NO attacks from terrorists. With that history, we could have assumed that PRIOR to the Bush administration we HAD national security and on the Bush administration's watch what actually happened was that we lost it. He slept on his watch and McCain has supported continued failings by the Bush administration. They have both done incredibly poorly by our courageous troops. What people fail to recognize when they quote the mortality rate in OIF and OEF is that the mortality rate does not tell the complete story. The truth is that medical care has improved to the point that the majority of injuries that would have been/were fatalities in Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, etc., are now rapidly addressed in order that death is prevented. Yet, these individuals, at astronomical rates, are left permanently physically disabled and are at even more astronomical rates are psychologically disabled with literally thousands suffering the effects of PTSD and huge numbers committing suicide. There are far more damning and disastrous effects of this failed policy and retaliatory move by our president than the dollars lost or even, sometimes, lives lost.

Most of the expense at my University in Wisconsin is from having at least two times the number of people in administrative positions that are getting paid at lest five times what they are worth. Almost always createing problems for people they do not like, or should I say that are not afraid to express their political opinions.

It is actually a country club here in Wisconsin, where the government skum has their third generation government skum offspring fill a position in Northern Wisconsin. This often takes place right after they complete their government administration degree, and advanced underwater basket weaving or social worker second and third degrees. This is their training ground for them to learn to fuck up a steal ball with a rubber mallet, and in Northern Wisconsin it is deemed nearly impossible to harm the dullards that live there.

After padding their resumes and sexxing their parent's friends enough, then they may get offered one of the highly sought after, do nothing jobs of campus administrative, deputy to the assistant, acting concubine to the director of director jobs, which allows for more artificial padding of their near useless appearing resumes.

Assuming these clowns have not given any of the top administrators a serious venerial desease, then they will have one of the $100,000 jobs that it takes to appear successful beyond your limited IQs type job.

What they are extremely good at is setting up redundant, never ending procedures for simple matters that require many artificial yet necassay visits and phone calls to their office(s). This makes their staff appear so busy as to not be able to do the jobs assigned to them, but in reality they are just toying with people due to their boring meaningless positions.

The directors that extend from three generations of equally lazy and useless dullards are not to be found anywhere on campus on Mondays or Fridays, unless the weather is really lousey. They cannot be found on Tuesdays or wednesdays because they have meetings at the local hotels at taxpayer expense on those days that include lavish meals and kickbacks from the hotel owners to keep it that way. Thursdays they are usually at their doctors getting their fourth colonoscopy, since they have to be good at something afterall.

Other than that it runs pretty much like a well oiled machine.

I'm going to school on the G.I. Bill now. You know when you sign up for the G.I. bill that it won't pay for your entire education. You invest one hundred dollars a month for a year and in return get twenty times that. If you want to use your G.I. bill go to community college for your first two years get good grades save on cost, then go to a University. The largest problem is the rising education costs, this is a problem everyone faces.

funny, I went to school on the GI Bill and received everything as stated in writing. Paid in full for my entire four years. The one arse stating " I was under the impression it would be paid in full" Fools, resdearch and know what yopu are signing....it can not get any clearer and my standard 600 per month added with what I was able to invest on my own was more than adequate. As the prof will tell you, do not listen to molde dsound bites...do the research.

I am not surprised by the out right "DO NOT GIVE A F***!!!" by the McCain or any other republicans.
The general population needs to be aware of how often military members are screwed over. People do not hear about all the crap that they go through because the US military defends a democracy but does not practice it within it, so military members cannot speak as freely as the general public. Just because men and women chose to join the military to defend the rights of every American, should not mean that they should get screwed!

Corrected for inflation from the 1970's minimum wage of $3.50 per hour, you would have a minimum wage of $13.00 per hour. Most of you will not make that, and not have medical benefits worth having. But that trash officer core will have it, as will your highly wasteful military.

Be smarter than your parents were and are, and vote both parties out that sold you out to make this country a cheap labor camp for the British.
Then we can run them back to their island, and seize all of their assets here, and exile the traitors like colin Powell, Rumsfeld, Wolfawicz, and other tripe that have not been acting in the interest of the real American people. And they all got rich selling you out to foreign owned business interests.

Re: Why Won’t McCain Support Our Vets?

Robert Kunferman — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:22:01 -0000

Ask British petroleum, Dutch Shell, the puke Bush family, Bechtel family, and all of the other tripe that benefited from this war to thank you with their money. I am one of the people that is getting stiffed with the bill, while this government prints money to give a firesale to the British on everything in this country, especially our rights.

Turn off the TV, if you can afford any other form of entertainment. And remember that most of your fellow students are coming out of college $40,000 in debt, and many work forty hours a week on top of that. No Bullshit. I could do that when I was young, but I still realize that they are getting fucked in this deal more than anybody.

I would sugar coat it, but that is why you own three TV's, because you cannot handle the truth. That bunch of slag that hangs around the military for twenty years is a major problem as well. We barely need a standing Army at all, our Navy spies on Americans for foregnors, and the airforce sissies are run by the NSA, a privately owned foreign organization.

Now that it got this corrupt because the Democrats and repubes want it that wAY, IT CANNOT BE CORRECTED.

Be thankful they have not decided to do what they plan to do in the future: Start creating another more violent and corosive attack on your health, medicine, and other areas of trust that they want to keep secret.

Then you will finally realize that you are a colony of Britain again, and that you are just cheap dumb labor that works for no benefit to you.

Actually, maybe you will never figure it out, because you think that somebody within the system is allowed to educate you on this.

Go Figure why they tell us what we want and set all of our agendas. Because they need our money for their kids.

Solution: link all government spending to GDP growth. Seize all of the pensions of the Admirals, Generals, and anyone else like Powell's bank accounts, and get rid of about fifty persent of the government uselesses that are overtaxing our society. Then we can find a nascient or quesient level to base government growth only on GDP growth and wage growth.

You do not want to waste four or twelve years in college to make money for swines that are not in the building, and when they are it is even worse.

We also need to raise minimum wage to about thirteen dollars an hour, and to correct for that, we need to get rid of the Mexicans and about half of the government tripe, especially the wasteful military tripe. This foolishness has gone on long enough. It is time for you to quit acting like you are heros, and get in the business of thinking before you vote. Don't drag me down anymore than your tripe government is doing to all of us as it is.

Scott, what would you know about patriotism? You spineless, discusting clerk. I am not a conservative, nor do I side with the Dems when I am at school. After you lick their boots, like you licked your officers boots clean, they will send you out just as dumb as you came in. Just like the military. You have the GI bill, now you want more. Then vote for McCained, cuz he will pay your medical expenses in the future, which will be more than you can pay doing honest work.

Re: Why Won’t McCain Support Our Vets?

Robert Kunferman — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:47:23 -0000

Scott. You didn't do anything over there, and neither did most of the other self-proclaimed soldiers. The slimey dullards at University here, don't even know where Iraq is, don't care, and don't talk about it unless they are forced to. In some ways they are correct. If you had not gone there and not been an Army clerk or a cook, then maybe we would not be there wasteing our money on making Bush, Clinton, and tons of their foreign friends rich by you and other dummies being there.

At least that is how it appears that the college kids think. The majority of them were even dummer than you. They actually beleived trash like Colin and Bush when they lied about WMD's. At that time I was very unpopular with both sides, and the only, I am serious now, the only person I could find that thought that Bush, Cheney, Powell, Wolfawicz, rumsfeld, and the other dumb cunt condi were all lieing. I was the only person I could find, and I talk to lots more than you, with lots more diversity of thought than you surround your chump self with. The only person who would think and say that there were obviusly no weapons of mass destruction, and I even gave them all of the logical reasons why this was obvious.

If you were too dumb to listen to smart people, even if you could have found one, then you got off easy by not being killed, as your dumb ass should have been. Start paying attention and realize that this was a two-party war, not just the repubes.

Also, decide what needs to be done to people who are not counting our votes, stealing our rights, stealing our property, useing soldiers and policemen to scare us into giving it to them, and trying to harm us.

The retired factory workers at the VFW, from the Vietnam era, are too stupid to admit they were used, and their jobs are now being done by Mexicans. Either here or in Mexico, so you may just want to keep playing along with the Democrats at your University, so that you too can have a do nothing, sit down job in unkle swine's camp. The next time a war comes around(or British theiving expedition) you can sit at your lazy government job and not think. This way I can hear another future Scott whine that he did so much for our country and he can't siphor why he did, but he wants others to give him money? Boy, you are a democrat, but you just better be one at a university, now that your officer's dick isn't right there for you to suck into action.

Turn off the tube, and think for once. We don't need anymore students here at my school proving that they have a firm grasp of the obvious by sucking up to the democrats that run our universities(into the ground actually).

Then again, like most Irishmen, you won't make it on your scientific contributions, so maybe you have to put out such drivel just to survive. I have a University full of similar useless human beings, doing near nothing all day. You will be taken care of just fine, once they realize you are a traiter, and need to suck up to them to survive. You were well trained for it. Nothing new here, except that there may be no room for you, now that we printed tons of money to pay your near useless ass in Iraq, to do nearly nothing useful. The truth often hurts liars. I benefit nothing in lieing to you. Not one fucking benefit to me to lie to your useless ass. You already spent your overpriced allowance, now we seriously have a problem printing a whole lot more money like a third world country. Sure, why not? Just run it into the ground further, so Scott doesn't have to think or be real. Nothing new here.

Re: Why Won’t McCain Support Our Vets?

Robert Kunferman — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:17:58 -0000

I am not surrounding myself with narrow minded idiots at the university(democrats) that repeat exactly what we all (each other) want to here. Nor am I doing the same with a bunch of uneducated idiots at the VFW. If you chose to live and converse with people who are too lazy to read history(like minds to you), then blame yourself. The Vietnam vets at the VFW didn't do much either, but far more risk than you clowns have.

This was not and is not a war. Do some reading of history about real wars, then you will understand why you were used to make a bunch of non-fighting people money. You should at some point come to grips with this, because otherwise you will be playing along with a media too controlled by foreignors to even want to tell us the truth. Turn off the tube, and practice cooking and sharpening pencils in an air-conditioned garage someplace. Then you will be ready for your next deployment, punk.

I am easy to find, so don't bother with your questions. I have enough enemies to keep me busy for a lifetime, so one more means one less in the future. I plan on getting even with all of the people who fucked me, why are you whining about it? Because you are incapable of even realizing who fucked you. My religion allows me to do this, yours is a problem for you, that you want to make a problem for us.

There must be a lazy, corrupt, FBI ghost-chaser job you can fit into very easily. The best part is that you never have to work, and you not doing anything all day will be kept a secret.

This country is under a foreign run coup. Your either with us or agin us, but your not an American if you side with this coup. Don't breed.

Reply to Daniel Powers:

Turn off the TV Dan. Your not a hero. So spare me the BS. I got out of the military with no benefits, had to wait six months to get into a one bedroom apartment for six hundred dollars a month rent outside of Boston. That, and work minimum forty hours per week, take night classes, and take classes at my training center.

I paid for it, and I am still working on my degree because of it.

We don't even need the clowns coming out of University now, and I have studied this long enough to realize most of you cannot do an honest days work on a construction sight for two very big reasons:
1.) You spineless dolts have spent too much time in the military not doing an honest days work, but instead sucking your officers dicks and killing time. If you don't do that you won't get promoted.
2.) You all realize that doing an honest days work in this country doesn't pay, and unlike civilized countries, we import labor so the government can again smear our faces in dog crap while you back them up. Get a job. I mean one where you havre to produce, and you will not want to see the government dullards thumbing themselves in their offices doing nothing useful.

Here is our main problem: We are printing money like crazy, because we are being told that we need a huge military standing around sucking each other's dicks doing nearly nothing. That applies to the near useless police and near useless firemen. That is how third world countries ruin their societies, so the British and Europeans can invest in our cheap labor, and hire our politicians to take your rights, so they can steal from us without any level of criminal prosecution.

Better yet, you tell me the battles you fought in, and if you are anything but infantry don't even bother to act like a soldier, because cooks, clerks, and support personel are not soldiers in my mind.

There were only a handful of days that any battles were fought in Iraq, and likely you were nowhere near any of it.

70% of the casualties in Iraq are women and children. 50% or more of our soldiers killed over there were killed by Americans, because you are so freaken stupid and jumpy that you should not even be allowed in the military. So play hero with the TV clowns and you silly families that thought Sadam was a threat to us.

As far as I am concerned, McCained has committed to giving you healthcare cards to use with no questions asked. That is worth a ton in benefits, it keeps the British run insurance companies out of the middleman routine, and it allows you to have far more benefits than the average US citizens. All that for doing next to nothing with your thumb up your ass in Iraq.

Now, hang around that bunch of dumbasses at the VFW until you all convince each other that General Franks was a traitor instead of Bush and the other clown coward civilians in his camp, including that pile of trash Colin Powell. Franks and other highly dedicated military men told the thieves that they would not break the law, violate the troops, or any other foolishness, and you clowns still today treat him like he did not sacrifice a lot in telling the foreign owned Bush family to get right with the world.

The Falujah retribution against civilians mostly, and the few weeks it took to bomb all of the buildings into rubble are all that has happened there for battles. The rest is just a bunch of fuck-ups that don't want to work for a living hanging around trying to pass themselves off as heroes. A more lazy bunch of useless people cannot be found outside of the military, except in the democratic party run federal and state government jobs. There-in lies your problem. The Democratic party has no intention of helping you with anything. They plan on doing what they have always done(you are too dumb to know this yet). They are going to create fake, designed to fail, programs that make their non-military and useless, spineless children a living off of your feeble complaints of no money, and hightmares.

If you have nightmares from riding around in a totally waste of money vehicle with tons of wasteful electronics in them, you should have shot your officers. All of this because your public was too stupid to realize that the Dems and the repubes wanted this war so they could steal our rights, money, land, and replace us with Mexican labor, so they can steal from them.

If you are having nightmares, then sleep it off. The degree that you think will be your answer to a better life was taken up by a democrat's kid, and he has the connections to not even have to show up for the job. The whole thing was a fiasco designed to steal our rights, so there are no heroes in this one.

If you want somebody to pay for your noghtmares then you will need to get the right tools to get to the people who harmed you. Many walk right down the streets of Washington everyday laughing at people like you for being so dumb as to sign up for the military, where officers make four times as much as enlisted swine, and have medical, school and other benefits. You will notice at the VFW that no officers are there, ever, so ask them to share their pay or put a bullet in one of their heads the first chance you get. No loss. They are just dumbassed yesmen who have you make them look good.

My military credentials are dwarfed by my ability to realize that you people can't get away from the media long enough to think for yourself. Neither can the idiots that are being turned out by my University, so this problem will re-occur for your children, if you do not start talking seriously about what you need to do to prevent it.

Two simple things: Make laws that do not allow us to colonialize another country for the British government and blue-bloods. And, make laws that hold all government officials criminally accountable for their actions. A third would be to ship all of the sell-out Irishmen, and all of the sell-out blacks in our government back to their respective countries and send the Mexicans packing, and we will all get by just fine among the intelligent people left in our society.

Anybody calling this a war is lieing from the get-go. We are doing dirty work for the Britis, Israel, and rich families like the Bushes. If it continues this way, you will have to burn all of it to the ground, like we did in the sixties, so the British can pay to rebuild it.

Your puppets for the rich, and too dumb to know it.

And no, NO we do not need to print anymore money to pay for soldiers, policemen, firefighters or any other near useless people. We cannot afford it, and we had no business being there in the first place, so take it out on the dems and pubes, and vote both parties out. They don't even count your votes anyway. Nor do they prosecute the thieves in government that steal from you, nor the ones who miscount your vote or disqualify you when you try to vote....etc. etc. etc.

You can spend a lifetime in college, and you likely cannot see past the Television. That is how dumb most people leave university, so don't expect much, and quit snivelling. Wait until you see the liars at the University level. These people are nearly incapable of telling the truth about anything. They only see money, and are sorry citizens for it. This is even in the sciences that are now being used to hide the fact that our government is willfully harmiong us with vacines, drugs, aerosol spraying in large cities, and other methods employed by the NSA to harm or kill U.S. citizens. The Universities are taking their money and looking the other way. They have no choice. They need a new car and three televisions just as much as the next slug with a doctorate degree.

Isn't it interesting how right wingers love to compare the Iraq quagmire/oil theft to WW2 when it is politically expedient to do so?Given their exploitation of patriotism,its also fascinating that these facts never come up:
"The law gave the following benefits to U.S. soldiers coming home from World War II:

education and training opportunities
loan guarantees for a home, farm, or business
job-finding assistance
unemployment pay of $20 per week for up to 52 weeks if the veteran couldn't find a job
priority for building materials for Veterans Administration Hospitals.

For most, the educational opportunities were the most important part of the law. WWII veterans were entitled to one year of full-time training plus time equal to their military service, up to 48 months. The Veterans Administration paid the university, trade school, or employer up to $500 per year for tuition, books, fees and other training costs. Veterans also received a small living allowance while they were in school."

Personally I am repulsed by the notion that Vets returning from this disgraceful slaughter in the Mid East would be somehow getting a "free ride" if their schooling and medical needs were addressed.Patriotism is much more than lapel pins,and tuning into Rush Limbaugh every day to find new ways to hate Liberals.Its about supporting the GD Troops!

It is rediculous that our military,police, firefighters, and the like... make so little putting their lives on the line for us while movie stars, athletes and politicians make absurd amounts of money! Talk about thankless and out of line! The whole wages thing in this country needs to be revamped! The people who work the hardest and do the most needed and dangerous jobs, make "near the bottom-of-the- barrel" in wages and hardly have a pot to pee in. My husband has a job that he has worked for 36 continuous years, which has destroyed his body, while the major company he works for barely gives him a raise each year, keeps cutting his benefits and retirement. With the way investments and social security have gone for the baby-boomer generation and the future generations....if things aren't revamped...we will not be able to EVER retire and will work until we drop over dead on the job! (Middle and lower classes are now the slaves of this country!) Wake up America! Everyone needs to hound their Congressman, Senators and the President about his situation! Don't just sit back for an easy ride with your head in the sand! Do something before you don't have anything left to do anything for!
