Yes...

The article starts off as:

President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that forgives all student loan debt for any permanently disabled U.S. military veterans.

The order, which Trump signed following a speech at the American Veterans National Convention in Louisville, Ky., also clears those eligible veterans from having to pay any federal income tax on the loans. Trump added that he is pressuring individual states to follow suit.

“The debt of these disabled veterans will be completely erased,” Trump said. “That’s hundreds of millions of dollars of student loans debt for our disabled veterans that will be completely erased.”

I think it is a good idea!

The forgiveness is for those who are 100% disabled and they already have that forgiveness! The issue covered by this is nothing but an order to DOE to do what is necessary as fast as possible to get those disabled veterans who have not yet taken advantage of the exiting forgiveness to do so. It also instructs DOE to look at all other veterans educational loan programs to see if forgiveness is in order, toy know the very thing they decided earlier this year not to do.
