advice : WOUNDED VET TOLD TO PAY BACK BONUS

[+] ballot by _Beelzebubba
ACTIVE Nov 21,2007 - Thu Nov 20, 08

Mt. Lebanon, PA (CBS News/KDKA)

Jordan Fox received a $10,000 signing bonus when he joined the Army. The Mt. Lebanon man served his country in Iraq, where as a sniper he survived machine gun battles and a roadside bomb that knocked him unconscious and blinded him in his right eye.

The injury forced the military to send him home. A few weeks later, Fox received a bill from the Department of Defense, saying he owes the military nearly $3,000 from his original enlistment bonus because he couldn't fulfill three months of his commitment.

This is apparently not an isolated bureaucratic foul-up. The military is allegedly demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.

How should these wounded veterans pay back the Pentagon?

The congressman that I voted for sponsored this bill known as the "Veterans Guaranteed Bonus Act of 2007".

Who would have thought that voting could make a difference?

In the Department of Defense's defense... 017

They did admit it was a mistake.

Still, you have to wonder how many honest wounded soldiers did send in their check.

There's something I'd like to say here, but it would guarantee me a place in Gitmo for life.

And, if I may dare to venture this, an eye seems sufficient payment to me...
