I am not voting for McCain, but the truth is that he does support a G.I. Bill... just not this one.
Also, any soldier who signs up to serve in the military agrees to stipulations and funding for college, among other things. This is not the early part of the century when the draft was being used.
Most representitives will support this bill soley based on the fact that they do not want to look bad come November.

The armed forces is an armed force (duh). Nobody said it's "safe". You live in a fantasy world if you think it is. Would you rather believe that the U.S. should be without a military to protect us (duh)? Why do you only pick on the Marines and not the Army, Navy or Air Force all of which put THEIR lives on the line everyday whether it be on a flight deck of an aircraft carrier, a foxhole in Iraq or a fighter jet flying missions over Iraq, they ALL put their lives on the line and they have ALL volunteered for this work.
I will agree that is one thing that McCain has actually been straight about. After-all, he oposed that psychotic highway bill and forced changes to it.
When you sign up for the military, it is fairly obvious you could be sent off to war. That does not negate the contract you signed with the military. In very bold writing, right before you sign your four years, it states it quite clearly.
Use an intelligent debate for once instead of ad hominem attacks... edsp...
It's real easy to tell someone else to die for "your" country while you destroy your brain and your liver drinking all day. Again why aren't your sons in tjhe Marines and in Iraq? Their daddy sure talks a patriotic game.

Sot from Floriduh spent his "service" in the bilge of a ship typing intel stuff given to him from real men. He thinks that makes him a soldier. He knew how to field strip a typewriter.
there goes our joe, getting preachy again. Joe the preacher, right joe?
It worked for me. Even, simply being in the military helps on any resume.
I came along in the Viet Nam era just before the GI Bill got gutted - got my last three years of college 100% paid for (1st year on my nickel before serving).
