>>OK, thank you, very interesting reading and I stand corrected. But I still don't understand your comparison of the MGIB and Halliburton. What, exactly, is your point, and how does it apply to the discussion regarding the supposed "injustice" that Metin brought up?

>Nope, this was on the relativity of the term "cheap" when applied to MGIB money. DoD is cheap on this, while shovelling enormous money into known and unknown bottomless pits. I may not be a citizen here, but I'm paying taxes.

The MGIB is mandated by Congress, not the DoD. Think it's too cheap? Write your congressman. When I was wearing the green, the amount of money the MGIB had available per soldier was a pretty good amount. Not only that, but states often have their own veteran benefits. Texas, for example, has a pretty decent education benefits package available.

Meanwhile, "Halliburton" seems to be a real bogeyman to the left. Have you ever bothered to learn anything about the company? You might have a read over their annual reports before yelping about their profits.
