According to the Congressional Research Service, the total amount appropriated for President Bush's Blundering Wars Project now stands at $700 billion. Unfortunately, John McCain doesn't want to set aside $2-4 billion per year to help educate our military personnel after they serve their country. Incredibly, he's buying into the Bush administration's line that "enhanced educational opportunities" might negatively affect retention rates.
Put another way, it's better that our soldiers have no alternatives, and are forced to stay in an endless war because they have no other life options.
