There oughta be a law…

…that says the day you take a bullet, your enlistment contract is paid in full.
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.
Damn.

Are you listening Representative McDermott? Senator Cantwell? Senator Murray? With all you've all done for vets (and they've all done a lot), here's one more spot where there really oughta be a law. I hope you're all in line to sponsor Rep. Altmire's bill.

And yes, I hate what they're doing to my Army.
