The Bush administration is hampering a Congressional effort to pay veterans’ full educational costs, reports the Blotter via ThinkProgress.
This comes on the heels of a presidential commission report on veteran medical services. Check out the Washington Post coverage of the Dole-Shalala commission.
In response to Dole-Shalala, President Bush said,
We owe our wounded soldiers the very best care, and the very best benefits, and the very easiest to understand system … [Congress and the Executive should implement all recommendations so that] we can say with certainty that any soldier who has been hurt will get the best possible care and treatment that this government can offer.
Curious to see where the education legislation goes…
