Unique Perspective on the GI Bill
Dr. Julie-Ann McFann over at Around the Academy wrote a beautiful post about the new GI Bill issue. She writes from the perspective of not only the daughter-in-law of a WWII veteran who benefited greatly from the GI Bill, but also as an educator who has taught students that enlisted in the military because it was the most realistic shot any of them had at paying for a college education. She’s as cranky as I am about the whole thing.

It took too long to get them passed, but the new educational benefits for veterans will actually be quite generous. And vets will also be eligible for federal and institutional financial aid.
The bottom line: all Iraq war vets who wish to earn a college degree will have the opportunity.
