The opposition to this bill have sited "retention," as one of the major reasons to not support this bill. Let me just state as a soldier, that it's difficult to return to civilian life with the current system that's available. I will be returning to civilian life with no home, no job, and no system to support me. I'm getting out because if I don't get out now, there's no way I can in the future. What they offer for re-enlistment is slowly getting less and less worthwhile, while at the same time, the support available when you get out is horrible. They don't want to take care of us while we're in, and they sure don't care about us once we're out. It's a catch 22. I'm opting for the harder decision. Even if I have to dig myself a financial hole to pursue my dreams outside of the military, I'm willing to do it. But on the other hand, the opposition has refered to the new bill as a "free ride." There's nothing free about it. I will have finished an initial enlistment of 6 years, having spent 27 months overseas. I know soldiers who have been in four years and been deployed for three of them. Our soldiers have at least paid in full for a good education. It seems to me as if too many of our government officials are willing to spend money on the war, but no the soldiers who are fighting and dying in it. I'm writing my Senator. I hope everyone does the same for the sake of the soldiers who are still healthy enough to go to school when they come home. I’m a soldier currently deployed to Afghanistan.

We should have learned our lesson from Iraq...about releasing young people with military training into a jobless economy to fend for themselves.
