Wanna know how to save a trillion dollars over 20 years?

The f35. On par to be the most expensive project in human history.

I thought that would be the Osprey"

That is not the problem. There are priorities. Soldier education is more important than Obama phones IMO.

You're creating a false causal relationship between the two.

Yep sorry I was editing so much but as everything in the military they take away much more then they give. Money is the driver and as of now we are running out.

Very true, but with benefit cuts (retirement taking longer, Tricare Prime being cut WAY back with increased costs, increased Tricare fees) long deployments and a battle weary force, you have to keep a carrot up to get people in there otherwise the next emergency, we're going to have Racr and 4eyes there guarding the remains of the Enterprise as several thousand sailors row her into battle.

Only in you're deluded mind.

Your. My mind is far from deluded. You remove funding from all of those things I mentioned before you start harming operational preparedness and R&D. I want my Halo body armor

That's like 2nd grade grammar. Sorry for the help, but that one fuck up nullifies any intelligent post you've made.

Nope. I'm square with the constitution. As always.

Only in you're deluded mind.

I'll agree it's not a guaranteed benefit but if you offer it as an incentive to get people to enlist, you have an obligation to cover it. Part of signing up and the GI bill has been altered repeatedly. That said, after the GI bill runs out, use the Hazlewood Act. It's great.

At the risk of a lot of rocks. TA is a benifit and not a guaranteed one. The new GI bill will cover your off duty education if you need it while in service. Use if you need too while in. If you don't then enjoy college.

If it gets cut, suck it up and pay for it yourself or wait for the GI bill to kick in.

It's is a great deal not an entitlement.

The GI bill will pay for college while you are in.

**edit. Mr Willie no matter the fund we still need a living wage. No matter what you call it we need the bumps in our pay for housing if nothing else. We still pay taxes as well.

Says raise and support Army and Navy. Tuition programs are part of supporting the military as it's an enticement to boost enlistment. Unless of course you would like to go back to drafting. I'm all for it 4 eyes. Enjoy Iran.
