Scotty2Hotty Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 You know damn well Obama wouldn't back it. But, I agree 100% being a veteran, I wish there was more. I know personally, I see over $1,300/month for my GI Bill, and after joining the Guard, I get 100% in state tuition. There's another bill headed to the senate aswell.

Science Abuse Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 You know damn well Obama wouldn't back it. Scotts credibility = zero. Proof that you obviously do zero research before backing some one, simply assuming the Right is the side that's offering you what you want. You need to study up on Obama before you decide you diagree with him. Here's a quote of Obie "not backing" the bill: Senator Webb and the leaders of both parties have introduced a 21st century GI bill that would give this generation of returning heroes the same chance at an affordable college education that we gave the greatest generation," Yeah, sounds like he hates the idea. Why won't McCain sign the GI Bill? Because he believes that making benifits available that early in a soldiers carreer will hurt retention rates. It is a valid point, though I feel it's a good thing to offer the young'ns some college at an earlier age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 McCain should do more. Here's what's on the slate from the IAVA (Iraq Afghanistan Veterans of America) 1. Ensure Thorough, Professional, and Confidential Mental Health Screening 2. Advance-Fund VA Health Care 3. Overhaul the Military and Veterans' Disability System 4. Cut the Claims Backlog in Half 5. End the Passive VA System 6. Combat the Shortage of Mental Health Professionals 7. Create Tax Incentives for Patriotic Employers 8. Fight Homelessness among Veterans 9. Give Families Access to Mental Health Support 10. Repeal the Waiver of High-Deployment Pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Cuz we can trust him....LOL Then who is it you think you can trust? I mean, you must completely trust McCain, Palin and company since you push your opinions so vigorously on here. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Veterans benefits needs to be bi-partisan, plain and simple. I'll congradulate the Bush administration for giving me health care a full year after I got out, due to the fact I was stop lossed (back door drafted for those that don't understand) for over 6 months. It should cover all veterans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 So socialism ? But only in a sector you deem worthy? McCain should do more.

thorne Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 btw I feel troops should get more benfits. I also feel that old people should get benfits. My wifes dad was a marine yet they can't afford good health care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 So socialism ? But only in a sector you deem worthy? For people that have done something for this country. It's called benefits from the government we worked for. But thanks for trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Anything you feel to add Thorne? You'd be quite pissed if the company you work for said they'd match $.075 to the $1 or more, on your 401K, only to find out it's really $.20 or so.

Thats happened to thousands of americans the past 2 decades who don't work for the government, that was in their contract as well. Except they didnt even get the .20.

Nitrousbird Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 We shouldn't have troops over there in the first place, so these things shouldn't even be a political point right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
