Senator McCain claims to care and support the troops, yet he is Missing In Action when it comes to voting for a new GI bill.

Last week, on Thursday, the Senate passed the 21th Century GI bill, expanding educational benefits for veterans who joined the service after September 11 2001. The bill was sponsored, in a by-partisan way, by Sen. Webb, Sen. Hagel and Sen. Lautenberg.

It certainly seems like it, and should have happen a couple of years ago.

Under the helm of Nancy Pelosi, congress voted  to cut off the endless pit of Iraq's war expenditure.

Further,  the dems want a new GI bill to be financed by a tax for people with an income higher than One million a year.

The troops would also benefit from shorter tour of duties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
