Got it! That makes much more sense - we're talking about two very different things. Or at least, two very different states of the same thing. 'The GI Bill' in modern context just means that scholarship troops can pay for school with.
Right now there are two iterations I'm aware of - the Montgomery GI Bill which you don't automatically get, but have to make deposits to that are deducted from military pay... making it extra fucked up if troops did that and were still denied the payoff at the end of the tunnel; and the Post 9/11 GI Bill which doesn't have a deposit, but carries some trade off that I don't remember.
I believe they do require an honorable discharge, so if that's still being weaponized against minorities then access to it is at least partially locked behind a race gate, which stands out as the highest potential for abuse today.
...oh, there's also the "Forever GI Bill" but iirc all that did was knock a time requirement off of the other two - used to have to use with 10 or 15 or something years of separation; now it's good for life.
