Soldiers Back From War Fight Different Battle

http://www.wpxi.com/news/11002564/detail.html

PITTSBURGH -- Soldiers who were paralyzed, suffered brain damage and lost limbs owe the government enlistment bonus money.

They must pay the money back because they didn’t fulfill their tour of duty.

Bob Truska, who was in the Navy, got an honorable discharge for what the Navy calls a personality disorder.

One year later, he got a bill for more than $3,000, part of his $7,000 enlistment bonus.

Bob said, “I didn’t know of anything I had to pay back after I got out of the military.”

Talk amongst yourselves, gotta work in 6 hours. After i go hurl!

WTF? :wtf: I mean really, WTF?

The government blows shitloads of money on this war but doesn't uparmor humvees or have enough armor for soldiers. Halliburton is making millions or billions on this war but the administration cuts funding for vets. Now the government wants the money back that they give people to sign up?

:wtf:

I am beyond words. Well, I have a bunch but they are all four-letter.

Edited b/c I spelled WTF wrong :eyes:
