		Bill Tuttle: The history of the GI Bill in some ways begins with the WWI veterans, who were promised a bonus in 1919 payable in 25 years, 1944, but in 1932 there was a great depression and they were broke.

		Almost as Douglas MacAuthur made that remark, his country's president was proving the point.
		For in late 1961, John F. Kennedy, bowing to pressure from his advisers, agreed to escalate American intervention in Vietnam.

		MacAuthur was the only American general in World War II to have a bigger ego than George Patton or even Montgomery, the British field marshal.
		While capable of great mistakes, in both his personal and professional life (some examples: his sexual affair while Army Chief of Staff and his stupid military decisions in the early days of the Japanese attack on the Philippines), he also had a great capacity for winning battles.

		The current circumstances, though, are entirely different, as the opposition is not well-defined governments, but individual, international terrorist groups, that just as accurately reflect the societies that produce them.
