I'm probably against broken promises as much as the next guy. But I'll also say that the benefits and perks I netted over a full military career far exceed those that were on the table when I signed up in the 90s. I'll definitely take what we evolved to over what I thought I'd get for 20 years of service.

A friend's daughter recently used his transferred GI benefits toward five years (four undergrad, one grad) of college, out of state to the University of Michigan. He figures he got $350k out of that benefit alone... although he's surely still ticked off about rising Tricare premiums.
