It is with much trepidation and angst that I disagree with the May 29 editorial supporting the Wisconsin GI Bill. This bill gives veterans of the war in Iraq free tuition anywhere in the University of Wisconsin System and at any technical college in the state.
I acknowledge the horrors that our troops have endured. I understand that we want to do everything we can for our returning veterans. But I also know that the military is experiencing difficulty recruiting young people to join the effort to establish a pro-U.S. government in Iraq. Offering free tuition will simply aid the recruiters of these young people.
