A new GI Bill that recently passed both houses of Congress would expand education benefits for veterans who served at least three years in the military after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Opponents say that it would harm military retention. We look at the GI Bill, its history and future.

Guests:

Patrick Campbell, legislative director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

Col. Bob Norton, deputy director of governmental relations at the Military Officers Association of America

Suzanne Mettler, professor of government at Cornell University
