The NATIONAL GUARD IN CALIFORNIA overpaid, or incorrectly issued re-enlistment BONUSES! The Pentagon has already backed off on the take-back. This problem does illustrate some long-standing problems with the National Guard, in numerous STATE operations with their recruiters, and it’s a decades long problem!
We must all remember to give thanks to George W. Bush for his invasion of Iraq
.
And to the Republican Congress who legislated this time bomb that has blown up in the face of the National Guards who reenlisted.
.
Of course, the current Republican Congress could fix this before breakfast tomorrow, but they are in recess after those exhausting repeals of Obamacare.
And no word yet about those who had to move, or refinance their houses because they had to pay it back with high interest charges or had to make expensive child care arrangements so both parents could bring in the extra income.

Yeah, and in some cases, they’ve already taken the leg(s).

And, the Pentagon recently said Stop the efforts to collect back the money.

I think they should refund the money that they did take back from our vets.

You are assuming that the people who received bonuses served in combat positions. I have heard anyone claim that.

GW Bush loved poor people and disabled veterans. He made so many of them!
