I’ve never been highly educated on what kinds of benefits veterans get, but recent publicity about how much college tuition aid veterans should get has really surprised me.  I always had the impression from commercials and other propaganda that if a person joined the military, that the military would pay for most of (if not all of) their college.

Recent politics has brought to my attention that is not the case at all.  I’ve heard that the government only pays for a small part of it.  In fact, from what I’ve heard, John McCain is opposed to improving the veterans tuition aid benefits, claiming that if the benefits were improved, people would leave the military sooner in order to reap the benefits.  That disturbs me.
