Supporting the Troops - Volume 1,113
The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.
To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.
Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.
This must be that new kind of fiscal conservatism that Bush is suddenly a fan of. Screw over the wounded so that you have more money to send Halliburton's way.
