Yes, I am getting my retirement pay. I am also retired Army and I have the ID card to prove it. I am employed. There you go thinking again and proving yourself wrong. The Army has its own intelligence personnel totaling more than 28,000 soldiers and approximately 3,800 civilians.

I agree with this. I know many people who graduated with degrees that did not provide them with any skills or education that are valuable in the work place. You can remember when in your young adult life when so many entry-level job positions listed in the newspaper said, "high school diploma required." Those same jobs today say, "college degree required or preferred."

I agree with you. The value of a bachelor's degree and even a master's degree has decreased over the years as more people have obtained them. There are a lot of college graduates who are working as clerks in retail stores or have taken other entry-level jobs that have never required a college education. I have seen many reports how there are severe shortages of workers with skilled trades education, and these jobs pay much higher wages than many jobs requiring a bachelor's degree. I am currently writing a research paper addressing free college tuition for an economics class. My first h

How many years have I been posting here at pcom? I have never made my reserve military duty a secret. In fact I have been quite open about it. The fact is, I have 25 years, 3 months, and 22 days time in service.

I was never in opposition to service members transferring their GI Bill benefits to their spouse and kids. I was opposed to how some courts were awarding the spouse the military member's GI Bill benefits as part of a divorce property settlement. Obviously I had both more active duty and reserve time than you did, as well as 99% of the people living in this country. In total, I had 12.5 years active duty and the remainder in the Reserves. I have more active duty time than Cain. Do you have a problem with that?

I attended his funeral. I was very impressed with the military attendance from different bases across the state. I was most impressed how his younger brother, a member of JROTC lead the honor guard at the church. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dingler family.

You agree with the article that it would pay for itself? That's ridiculous because it won't pay for itself. Remember the nation is already $20 trillion in debt. The government is borrowing money now because it continues to operate with a budget deficit. Where's the money going to come from to pay for free college tuition. Expanding the Pell Grant Program will only increase the debt. The UK requires students to repay their student loans when they reach a certain income level. https://www.gov.uk/repaying-your-student-loan/overview Again, I ask you how do you propose it be paid for?

My father made the Army a career. We didn't see our grandparents and other relatives much as we were always so far away. My grandparents would send us gifts through the mail for our birthdays and Christmas, and if we were living in the states, we would talk on the phone. Although we did not see them as much as my cousins did, we had a great relationship with them.

The three countries with the largest percentage of people with post-secondary education do not provide free college tuition. Their percentages are much higher than those of countries who have free post-secondary education. Norway and Sweden have free education, but look at their numbers. Norway is 2 points higher than the US and Sweden's is the same as ours. Our percentages are much higher than the other countries providing free college tuition. Free tuition is not going to provide a more educated workforce. Since you support it so much, how do you propose it be paid for?

17 years in Military Police and 8 years in Military Intelligence. Let's not forget I did four combat tours as well. So yea, I earned it.

Do those countries have a better workforce than the US? They pay a higher tax rate than what we do as well. I earned my GI Bill.

The U.S. is currently ranked 6th in the world with 45% of young adults have some form of post-secondary education, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). South Korea leads the world with 67% followed by Japan and Canada both with 58%. All three of those countries charge for tuition and all three are on par with in-state tuition at public universities. The OECD average is 41% of young adults having some form of post-secondary education. Norway and Sweden each have free education at public universities, but only Norway has more young adults with so

I agree with DallasRed that having the Khan's on stage was nothing more than a political move in response to Trump's statements we should bar Muslims from entering the country until we find a proper way to vet them. This was a political stunt in an another attempt from the left to try to make Trump look like a racist because of this and he wants to secure our nation's borders. I agree with both securing our borders and properly vetting people before allowing them visas into our country to ensure they are not terrorists and to ensure they are the kind of people we want in our country. By "th

Wages stagnant for the past 8 years, more part-time jobs created than full-time jobs, 9 million people who have given up looking for a job, more people collecting food stamps today than the day Obama took office, more people living in poverty today than the day Obama took office, and the failure of the ACA that was forced down our throats. Yes, it is horrible.

What banks don't want to do anything with Trump?

Kerry provides another example why the left is loony as hell. I wonder if Kerry would rather have air conditioning or a member of ISIS in his home? I bet Kerry's air conditioning is running all the time to keep his home cool during the summer months. There were 5,000 heat related deaths during the heat wave of 1936 in the US, most of them elderly people. Now imagine if air conditioning use were banned, the impact that would have on the well-being of the elderly and others and the deaths that would result. Perhaps the Democrats plan to reduce the population of the country with regulatio

I agree. The view of the falls are much better on the Canadian side.

Once again pubby, you demonstrate how you and the left hold those on the right to a much higher standard than you hold yourselves.

You once again demonstrate you're the village idiot.

Dude, it's still plagiarism. If I had done that in one of my grad school research papers and did not cite and reference the source, I would be kicked out.

Michelle Obama, 2008 DNC: “And Barack stood up that day, and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘the world as it is‘ and ‘the world as it should be." Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”: “The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.”

Snopes is not a reliable source as it has proven many times not only to be wrong, but very supportive of the left. Several credible news sources have made the comparison between Michelle Obama's speech and Saul Lewinsky's Rules for Radicals to find the plagiarism. You should talk.

Snopes has been proven to be wrong many, many times.

Good grief. I am well aware of copy rights and I'm well aware of what plagiarism is.

Snopes was dismissing the claim that Obama plagiarized from Stephen R. Covey, not Saul Alinsky.
