I like the new G.I. Bill because veterans and their families come first for obvious reasons. When I think about all the money this nation spends around the world and the money we spend on knuckleheads committing crime, I wonder if we are first caring for those prepared to give what Lincoln termed “the last full measure of devotion.”
If we are lucky, many of those well-disciplined veterans will become future teachers so they can be role models for some of the aimless youth and help restore order in the classrooms.
