I don't think old W hates the troops - but I do think this is party of a widespread effort by the far right to hold down the middle class. Everyone in this country knows that education is the foundation of a middle/upper class career - Hell, look at the explosion of the middle class due to the original GI bill - but the Middle Class threatens people like Bush. Him and his envision a world of upper and lower, with the pesky, opinionated middle class being marginalized as much as possible. So denying education, however earned or deserved, is just another means to keep that annoying group of people from growing. What is really amazing is that pro-war conservatives (some of which are reading this post right now) will support Bush on this - saying the "Troops don't need to college they can't afford! Fuck 'em!" That level of partisan brainwashing is both pathetic and mind-boggling. I can only hope that whomever is president next year turns things around.
