Extreme makeover: a new GI Bill for the 21st century
Last week, the House of Representatives voted in favor of a World War II-style GI Bill for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. The Senate is expected to vote on it this week. Now that the White House has withdrawn its long-held opposition to the bill, a new generation of veterans could see a doubling of college benefits. Guests: Journalist Edward Humes and Iraq veteran Bryan Knudsen. Both agree that it’??s time to give the 20th century GI Bill a 21st century makeover.
