I paid in to my GI Bill. Perhaps it isn't illogical to ask a bit of a buy-in, so long as the buy-in funds aren't misused - much like Social Security is/has been misused, causing it to face insolvency.

In all honesty, we as active duty, veterans and retirees need to stop having the knee jerk reaction of disagreeing with any proposal that impacts servicemembers no matter how reasonable. There is precedent for this in the Montgomery GI Bill. The benefits that are reaped are much higher than the Montgomery GI Bill. They allow tranfer to family members.
When you have an all volunteer force (even in wartime) sometimes you offer incentives to reach desired recruiting goals. When the need for recruiting diminishes you remove or lessen the incentive. The Post 9/11 GI Bill is a fantastic deal/opportunity, at $2400 it is a fantastic deal/opportunity. Let's save our silver bullets for the important fights.
