Does everyone support our Veterans?

Republicans in the Senate voted against a bipartisan bill that they contributed to. It was the Veterans Job Corp Bill. The bill included training vets as fireman and policeman. Why would the GOP do this?

Update:

The Bill was not passed

    Everyone (all sides) has always supported our veterans, but always have differing ways of doing it.

    If you want to see the way to government treats our vets, go to a VA hospital. Most of the homeless population are veterans. Say what you want about the Obamas, but there is no doubt that Michelle Obama has been vigilant in the wounded warrior project.

    Pfft... the only support veterans get from the GOP are bumper stickers.

    The military is supported by conservatives, given the fact that there are more Republicans in the military than Dems.

    Bush thought they were great until they were wounded - and were brought back to rat-infested hospitals with poor staffs.

    I think Dems tacked a provision on there to raise taxes on the rich, so Reps said "No deal!"
