Fair enough…

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26, 2007 – If you are wounded in combat and discharged as a result, you will not have to pay back your enlistment bonus, Defense Department officials said here today.

But, like Lurch, I wonder...

...what will happen to the GIs who got these dunning letters a year or two ago and actually scrimped, saved, and borrowed from family in order to repay the enlistment bonuses that should never have been clawed back?

Will the Army pay those citizens and veterans interest when they reimburse them?
