Well the Secretaries of each of the branches that suspended the program made the decision, and I suspect it was not a decision made overnight. It was very shortly after sequestration kicked in, so this is something that had to have been in the works for a while. I am sure we will never know the true motivation for this action, but it was a very unpopular one to say the least. It's interesting that the military wants smarter enlisted members, and for almost all career service members, higher education is really no longer an option, it a requirement. So it's kind of akin to shooting yourself in the foot regarding suspending one of the programs to help service members get the higher educate their respective service requires. To be honest though, I doubt that this one instance will prompt either the legislative or executive branches to speed up the budget process.
