John McCain claims that if Iraq veterans are offered a free education after their first deployment to Iraq the army will suffer from decreased re enlistments and that this would weaken the army.
The corollary to this argument is that a college education must be much more attractive to soldiers than fighting in Iraq and thus we should not offer them this opportunity so that they will be forced to stay in the less desirable situation.
How is McCain's position not considered as not supporting the troops?
McCain's argument worded a little less artfully might read "don't reward the soldiers service with anything valuable or they might leave the miserable situation they are currently in."
