I'm a tad shocked by this if at all true. "Not the right time to expend resources for National Guard and Reservists" they say.
A second article that gives some reason for any Congressmen voting no on the bill.

MAJ James Woods Well there is good news & bad news... the good news is there was bipartisanship in the House;
..."The House passed legislation on Wednesday that would expand eligibility for GI Bill education benefits for National Guard and Reserve troops.
Lawmakers passed the bill on a bipartisan basis, 287-135, with 68 Republicans joining with all Democrats in support."...
Now the bad news;
..."The bill now heads to the Senate, where it's not clear whether it could overcome a GOP filibuster. A majority of House Republicans voted against the bill on Wednesday, despite the 68 who supported it."...
Here is a bit of history on Minority McConnell's handling of Veterans Bills;

So... you decide the chances of it passing the Senate.

Politicians have a way of wording things where money ends up going to the mating habits of the wharf rat or something else. I don't know why they put so much crap into a simple bill.
