The               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill               has               passed               both               chambers               of               Congress               and               is               awaiting               the               president's               signature               or               veto.

Bush               has               publicly               stated               many               times               that               he               will               veto               the               legislation,               calling               it               a               "partisan               trick,"               although               a               large               number               of               Republicans               support               it               as               well.

The               president               maintains               that               it               will               cause               many               returning               veterans               not               to               re-enlist,               referring               to               a               Government               Budget               Office               report               that               estimates               that               16%               of               returning               troops               will               opt               to               go               to               school               other               than               re-up               for               duty.

What               Bush               doesn't               tell               anybody               is               that               the               GBO               report               also               stated               that               there               would               be               an               estimated               16%               in               new               enlistments               due               to               an               updating               of               the               GI               Bill.

Republican               presidential               candidate               John               McCain               has               also               maintained               that               he               is               opposed               to               the               bill,               stating               that               it               is               a               bad               idea               and               that               he               supports               the               president               in               this               matter.

Further               than               that,               Senator               McCain               does               not               seem               to               want               to               go.

But               he               should.

A               veteran               himself,               Senator               McCain               no               doubt               understands               the               importance               of               the               recruiting               draw               of               the               GI               Bill               of               Rights.

He               also               must               understand               that               a               better               educated               veteran               stands               to               do               better               in               the               job               market               as               well.

So               why               the               refusal               to               support               the               bill?
               One               could               surmise               that               McCain               is               against               the               legislation               because               of               other               measures               that               it               is               tied               to,               like               the               13-week               extension               of               unemployment               benefits               for               those               whose               unemployment               benefits               have               expired               (perhaps               to               be               contingent               upon               --               they               aren't               finished               with               the               details               --               whether               the               unemployment               rate               in               an               individual's               state               is               6%               or               higher).

Or               perhaps               he               opposes               it               because               it               is               tied               to               the               next               military               appropriations               bill.

No,               he               wants               the               military               to               be               able               to               conduct               its               business               as               usual,               so               that               can't               be               it.

Regardless,               the               legislation               has               passed               by               an               overwhelming               majority               in               both               the               House               and               the               Senate.
               Could               it               be               that               there               is               something               specific               in               the               expanded               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill               that               bothers               him?

If               so,               he               isn't               saying               what               it               is.

In               fact,               when               Senator               Jim               Webb               (D-VA)               first               introduced               the               bill               his               first               day               as               a               senator               in               January,               2007,               it               began               to               gain               bipartisan               support.

Senator               Chuck               Hagel               (R-NB)               signed               on               as               co-sponsor.

Together               they               forged               a               bipartisan               support               for               the               legislation               that               has               swept               the               bill               to               its               present               stage.

Senator               Webb               --               who,               like               Senators               Hagel               and               McCain,               served               in               Vietnam               --               has               called               for               John               McCain's               endorsement               from               the               start,               hoping               to               get               the               support               of               the               Senate's               most               storied               veteran,               knowing               that               with               McCain's               support               even               more               senators               and               representatives               would               likely               support               the               bill.
               But               all               to               no               avail.
               Needless               to               say,               Senator               McCain's               stance               on               the               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill               is               unpopular.

Many               veterans               groups               across               the               country               question               his               judgment.

VoteVets.org               took               the               senator               from               Arizona               to               task               for               not               bothering               to               show               up               to               vote               for               the               bill,               instead               choosing               to               attend               a               fundraiser               in               California               for               his               presidency               hosted               by               San               Diego               Chargers               owner               Alex               Spanos.

Jon               Soltz,               an               Iraq               War               veteran               and               the               Chairman               of               VoteVets.org               issued               the               statement:               "Senator               McCain               knows               how               tough               things               are               for               those               fighting               in               Iraq,               and               when               they               get               home.

All               of               us               would               love               to               spend               time               getting               money               and               talking               football.

But,               sometimes               there               are               more               important               things               to               do               in               life.

This               is               one               of               those               times               when               Senator               McCain               could               have               showed               some               leadership               by               canceling               his               events               and               heading               back               to               DC               for               this               debate."
               And               this               isn't               the               first               time               Senator               McCain               has               been               seen               as               neglectful               of               his               military               brethren.

According               to               ThinkProgress.org,               back               in               September,               McCain               told               Congress               that               he               hoped               it               would               reject               another               of               Senator               Webb's               bill               that               called               for               extending               time               between               deployments               for               troops.

McCain               said               that               extended               leaves               between               deployments               "would               create               chaos."
               Democratic               presidential               hopeful               Senator               Barack               Obama               has               also               chastised               McCain               for               his               refusal               to               support               the               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill.

He               has               asked               his               audiences               how               a               man               running               for               president               ask               troops               to               stay               in               Iraq               indefinitely               when               he               won't               even               support               a               bill               that               simply               gives               the               troops               what               they               have               been               promised               and               what               they               deserve               upon               completion               of               their               duties.

This               refusal               also               gives               Obama               the               added               ammunition               of               maintaining               that               Senator               John               McCain               will               simply               continue               the               failed               policies               of               outgoing               president               Bush.
               So               what               does               the               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill               actually               entail?

What               the               legislation               is               set               up               to               do               is               to               update               the               financial               parameters               of               the               original               GI               Bill               of               Rights               passed               in               1944               and               signed               by               President               Franklin               D.

Roosevelt.

That               GI               Bill               would               be               updated               and               expanded               to               account               for               the               costs               of               college               (including               living               expenses)               for               four               years               by               today's               standards               at               any               in-state               institution               of               the               veteran's               choice               after               serving               three               years.

Since               the               most               any               GI               (or               any               other               military               personnel)               can               hope               to               receive               under               the               old               bill               is               $9600               every               year               for               four               years,               an               amount               that               does               not               even               begin               to               touch               the               tuition               of               some               in-state               colleges,               the               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill               would               be               a               financial               boon               to               those               having               to               make               up               any               differences               with               savings               and               working               while               attending               college.

The               expanded               bill               is               projected               to               cost               $52               billion               in               the               next               ten               years,               less               per               year               than               what               is               being               spent               each               week               in               Iraq,               money               and               votes               Senator               McCain               has               had               no               trouble               supporting               over               the               past               five               years.
               The               1944               GI               Bill               was               considered               one               of               the               most               important               and               generous               pieces               of               legislation               ever               passed               by               Congress.

Millions               of               young               men               and               women               were               able               to               use               it               to               further               their               education               and               help               drive               and               advance               a               period               of               economic               prosperity               the               likes               of               which               the               world               had               never               seen.

It               helped               push               the               United               States               to               the               forefront               economically,               socially,               diplomatically,               and               militarily.

A               relatively               small               investment               in               the               futures               of               our               military               personnel               now               sacrificing               themselves               in               what               seems               to               be               neverending               wars               in               Iraq               and               Afghanistan               cannot               be               too               much               to               ask               of               a               president               so               willing               to               expend               trillions               in               a               failed               attempt               at               what               the               New               York               Times               dubs               as               "Mr.

Bush's               Iraq               misadventure."
               President               Bush               has               also               made               the               outrageous               claim               that               he               could               not               support               the               expanded               GI               Bill               because               too               many               veterans               might               take               advantage               of               it.

Perhaps               that               is               what               Senator               McCain's               fears               as               well               --               veterans               taking               advantage               of               what               they               were               promised.

But               you               can               expect               a               man               who               has               never               really               served               in               the               military               and               who               had               all               the               benefits               of               a               Yale               education,               one               he               seems               to               have               not               taken               overly               seriously,               at               his               father's               expense.

You               truly               have               to               wonder               at               a               veteran               who,               according               to               his               website,               fought               for               Vietnam               war               veterans               expanded               educational               benefits               but               is               increasingly               silent               about               those               same               benefits               being               accorded               subsequent               war               veterans.
               Of               course,               Senator               McCain               can               stand               back               during               a               debate               in               the               future               and               truthfully               tell               his               audience               that               he               did               not               vote               against               the               Webb-Hagel               GI               Bill.

No               doubt               he               will               maintain               that               mantra               no               matter               what               questions               or               accusations               follow.

He's               quite               stubborn               that               way.

But               it               still               does               not               answer               why               he               has               not               supported               the               bill               from               the               start.
