I just found this:

The Department of Defense just announced a terrible change to benefits given to veterans through the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Starting next year, troops with 16 years of service or more will no longer be permitted to transfer their military benefits to their spouses and children. This is crazy--especially as our troops continue to be deployed in combat zones right now around the world.

Nearly 1.5 million veterans and their families have used the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and as many as 9 percent of servicemembers will be affected if this policy is enacted. Sign our petition asking Secretary of Defense Mattis to honor the DOD’s promise to our veterans.

As a veteran and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), I know how important these benefits are. Since being signed into law in 2008, the Post-9/11 GI Bill has allowed servicemembers with over 6 years of service to transfer benefits to their dependents if they agreed to serve another 4 years. These benefits help our veterans and their families with education and housing and sent more than one million veterans to school.

Now, the Department of Defense is ready to break their promise to veterans simply because they no longer view the transferability of benefits after 16 years as an effective recruitment and retention method. That’s unacceptable: The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world.

We can stop this. We have defended the GI Bill against attacks and cuts ever since we led the fight to pass it in 2008. Petitions with signatures like yours help us put pressure on lawmakers and leaders in our government to do the right thing.

Sign IAVA’s petition. It’s essential that our government honor it’s promise to our veterans.

Thank you,

I personally don't think they these men should have volunteered for this but they were tricked by the 911 caper, but they had an agreement with the government and now they are being stiffed.

Will Trump and the Patriots stop this from happening?
And don't think I am opposed to fighting for a cause that right I am married to a SQUID.
