Clinton Announces "New GI Bill"

This comes from Pentagon reporter Anna Mulrine:

In a speech today at the Center for American Progress, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton announced a "new GI Bill of Rights," to include expanded care and physical and mental screening of soldiers going into war zones--and those returning as well.

The initiative will also help families learn how to care for injured family members and create provisions for care of the children of single soldiers killed in war. She added that she is asking the Department of Defense to review rejected insurance claims of Army soldiers suffering traumatic injuries.

Sen. Barack Obama, one of Clinton's leading rivals for the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, also is cosponsoring an initiative to address neglect at military hospitals.
