While the bird site falls apart,
the thrill of tooting fills my heart.

    Butler saw the scam first-hand, 100 years ago. Every generation seems it must relearn the lessons of our grandparents.

    As for young people not enlisting for wars of convenience - exactly. That’s partially why a draft was around, and why it was so unpopular. And why the money each service pays for college benefits goes way up when there’s a shooting war and goes down in peacetime.

    My time in the Navy overlapped with the VEAP program, which would give me a 2-to-1 match for college - up to the maximum contribution of $2700. What a joke.

    Compare that to the current GI Bill plus extra money each service pays directly.
