The For Dummies Series May Have An Issue…

There’ve been some funny “For Dummies” titles to have come out.  Washington DC for Dummies. Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies (I love D&D, by the way…).  The most cringe worthy book like this was actually a different series: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Enhancing Self-Esteem.  Ouch.

But we just got in Veterans Benefits for Dummies.  I can hear people saying “OH NO THEY DIDN’T!” from here.  Of course, it is just a matter of the series’s naming convention, and the series is pretty beneficial in general.  Part of my job is programming and I’m proud to have PHP & MySQL for Dummies on my personal bookshelf.  Handy stuff!  And frankly, what could be more confusing than government paper work?  If anything, I think having a guide like this is quite the beneficial resource for our veterans (students and staff) to make sure they’re getting every last benefit available to them for serving this country.
