Some things never change...

The New York Times > Business > Seeking Quick Loans, Soldiers Race Into High-Interest Traps

Many years ago...when I was in the Navy, these quick loan shops operated much as they do today. If anything has changed at all, it's the fact that the loan shops are now closer to the front gate of the bases.

Today, this situation makes a good news story. But when we are at peace, this story will go back to being non-news and military personnel will go back to being the second class citizens that most Americans think they are. Some things never change.
