Romney wants more education benefits for military

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Monday that he would give more money to members of the military seeking college education.

Romney said he would make sure Montgomery G.I. Bill benefits keep pace with the cost of college, which often exceeds the rate of inflation. In addition, Romney said that children of soldiers should receive in-state tuition rates, even if the student's parent is later reassigned to another state.

Romney has previously pledged to expand the size of the military, and to encourage new technology and properly equipping military personnel.

Such changes, Romney said, would improve the quality of life for the military and their families and make the country safer.
