Dems show was "supporting the troops" really means

Senator Webb shows how to actually support troops, not just talk about it

Lots of Senators, especially Republicans, talk about supporting the troops. Talk is cheap. One new Senator is actually taking action to support the troops:

Keeping a promise he made on the campaign trail in 2006, Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) did more for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan on his first day in the Senate than the man he ousted, George Felix Allen, did in the entire previous Congress.

Going unnoticed in the frenzy of Democrats assuming control of Capitol Hill and George W. Bush seeking to plunge the country deeper into the Iraq quagmire, Webb introduced the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2007, legislation that will provide the newest Veterans with educational benefits like those received by men and women who served in the three decades following World War II.

Let's see if the GOP will put its money where its mouth is.
