I can't believe this bill is finally passing! It's about time they did something to help us out. I'm so sick of struggling with student loans while trying to serve my country. This is gonna make a huge difference for me and my fellow service members. Can't wait to see how this all plays out!

I don't really get why this bill is necessary. Seems like it's just giving special treatment to certain groups. I'm not sure how it will actually help anyone in the long run. Just seems like another way for the government to waste money.
