Who are these blithering idiots at the Pentagon!?

Trump should offer to make their payments for the next few months and promise them that, when inaugurated, he’ll get that crap straightened out and refund every penny of what they paid, plus interest.

After all, if the Zerobama administration has so much extra money that they can fly pallets of it to our enemies in Iran, they can eat absorb the amounts of the bonuses earned by our fighting forces.

It could be argued that my suggestion is rather cavalier but: one (or more) of the guys should refuse to pay.And then when the Army steps things up call the press.

I'm a little torn about this. These guys knew what specialties were getting retention bonuses and which were not supposed to. It's kind of like getting too much back from the IRS. Not to diminish their service in any way. It's a tough one.

And yet our elected officials live high on the hog and find new ways to misappropriate (steal) our tax $$$ and divert it ino their own offers every chance they get. Still haven’t found that $6B yet have they? I can only guess...

I think Ash Carter came out the other day and said they were going to stop doing this.
