Morning Update: Clinton’s GI Plan
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) outlined her plan to strengthen the U.S. military in a press release Thursday. Her agenda includes ending the stop-loss policy that obliges soldiers to stay in the military for multiple tours of duty. She also intends to create a “GI Bill for the 21st Century” that would offer expanded benefits to veterans, as well as a program that would provide veterans with “no-collateral, low-interest microloans of up to $100,000 for entrepreneurial ventures.”
Adviser Dan Shapiro told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) would “do everything in his power to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and that all options are on the table, including military options,” but said he does not think discussing hypothetical situations concerning a nuclear Iran is productive.
