[San Diego Union-Tribune] A proposal in Congress would impose a new $2,400 fee on troops who want to sign up to get the GI Bill after discharge.
The idea is being considered by the House Veterans Affairs Committee next Wednesday at a hearing. The nation’s veterans groups appear to be steaming about the proposed change.
"We are still a nation at war. We have troops actively engaged in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and now in Syria," said leader of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Brian Duffy, in an issued statement.
'Nothing is too good for the soldier, and that's what he usually gets.' |
