For the second year in a row, state lawmakers have rebuffed the Guard's effort to win state money to help cover the cost of college for its members... California is the only state that gives no educational benefit to National Guard members

National Guard and Reserves provide at 40% of the deployed troops for the War on Terror. CA probably provides a proportional number.

Ya think Pelosi's State could support this?

I have an idea...declare the Kalifornia National Guard as English learning illegal aliens then they get free to reduced cost of education.

CA needs that money - for medical care, education, and welfare to the ILLEGAL aliens. I really wish the US govt would simply deny contracts to any company located there. When Lockheed, Boeing, etc move out of the So Cal area, the final stake in the coffin will have been driven.

You can bet that when the Calfiornia Guard doesnt meet it’s recruiting goals because college students are going to other states which have better incentives they will blame it on Bush and his ‘unpopular war’.

Harrumph! Just who the heck do these guys think they are, someone special?

Don't the realize that there's ILLEGAL ALIENS in CA who need a 'FREE', tax-payer funded, college education more than they do. Sheesh, these guys fight and die for their country then if they survive, demand the world in return. Some nerve! IMO, these NG losers better get their act together and learn to stay in their place. They're gettin a might uppity just 'cause they wear a uniform.

Why if it wasn't for FREE education for ILLEGALS Los Angles wouldn't have its current mayor.

If I need a sarcasm tag I'm gonna whack you.
