So, like, this bill is supposed to give State educational agencies info about members of the Armed Forces? I mean, I guess that could be useful for something, right? But, like, what are the short term affects of it? Will it actually make a difference in the long run? #HRBill1573 #ArmedForces #Education 🤔
