Jim Webb Talks About the Importance of the New GI Bill

With the GI Bill currently working its way through Congress, Sen. Jim Webb talked with Jon Stewart about, among other things, the hypocrisy in the Republicans' to pay for an ill-advised war, but not to support our veterans once they return home. The Bill itself would help fund a college education for American soldiers upon the completion of their military service. Is this an objectionable idea? Of course not. Yet the Bush administration has vowed to veto the Bill should it pass through the legislature, once again showing how George Bush and Republicans are only interested in support for their war, not the lives, health, and success of our men and women in service.
