Dems try to support the troops - bush opposes

Bush admin resists education benefits for troops.

The Blotter reports that the Bush administration is opposing a congressional effort to restore full educational benefits for returning veterans. “Senate Democrats, led by Virginia’s Jim Webb, want the government to pay every penny of veterans’ educational costs, from tuition at a public university to books, housing and a monthly stipend.” The administration is resisting because it finds the program cumbersome.”

Once again - for the millionth time - we see the Dems actually trying to do something for the troops - and not just spout stupid cliches - and the repugs fighting against them.

I literally cannot imagine how a single military personal could vote republican unless they are masochists.
