Soapbox time.
I stumbled across a horrific article about how the military treats our soldiers.
Imagine this...
For sense of duty, honor, or whatever reason, one decides to join the military (BTW:I salute you, as I could never do that). Once you enlist, you receive a $10,000 enlistment bonus. You get assigned to a war zone, conflict area, etc. where you subsequently get wounded and honorably discharged.
Soon after, you get...
a bill from the Pentagon demanding the prorated enlistment bonus back.
Really. THIS is how our government treats the soldiers that have made incredible sacrifices.
I am TOTALLY not making that up.

This is wrong on so many levels. I can't believe that our gov't would do this - I hope they get their act together and soon.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I can believe it from our government... and that makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteThere is current legislation trying to rectify the situation, so there's hope.
You can believe I would mail it back to them alright.
ReplyDeleteAll in pennies.
