Mass. legislature to troops: No tuition breaks for you! Contributed by Bill Faith
Bryan Preston at Hot Air:
The new Democrats: Don’t question their toughness against terrorism, even if they can’t decide whether Hezbollah’s rocket barrage on Israeli cities constitutes terrorism or whether Israel’s response is legitimate or “proportional” or , and even if they kicked out the one Democrat Senator that’s easily identified as pro-security. At least they’re not shorting the troops on anything.
Lawmakers have slammed the classroom door shut on Massachusetts soldiers home from Iraq and seeking to go to state college, failing to cough up $8 million needed for crucial tuition waivers.
Army and Air National Guard soldiers expecting to be rewarded for their war duty under Gov. Mitt Romney’s “Welcome Home” bill found the welcome mat ripped out last week by the Legislature as it ended its formal session without approving money for the waivers.

I'm too disgusted for words. ... No, actually, I'm not. As far as I'm concerned if the jihadis ever invade New England the American part of the U.S. should just stand back and watch. Not one Soldier, one Marine, not one missile or bomb. They deserve each other.
