Well, this is one time when I disagree with the military.

Not just no, but hell no!
He earned 110% of it.

They should respond that they are ready for duty, and that the Gov can kiss their A$$...

This guy should tell the government to give him back his vision.
Is this the best we can do for these kids? I'm ashamed of this and it's got to be fixed. I'm writing to my congresscritters.

This happen to one person. The military said it was a glitch and it will be taken care of..The media and certain persons would like to make a Big Deal out of this. Mistakes happen in government and business all the time this will be resolved...

Much more information is needed on this. Is it a coincidence that Altmire is a dem? Who exactly is demanding the money back, the DoD? Military Appropriations? (headed by Murtha)or the Dept. of Veterans Affairs?
If it's veteran's affairs or if they have anything to do with this whatever, I'd say it's dirty politics from the Committee Chairman, Bob Filner, (D) CA.
Filner is an anti-war weenie from the 60s, BIO note from his bio, the connections to the ACLU, Common Cause, the Sierra Club... He has been nehind several of the dirty tricks over the past year in effort to turn the troops against the President.
One such trick, although unprovable, was the effort to turn vets and Gold Star families against Pres. Bush by denying Vietnam vets' families tours of the WH knowing full well they didn't qualify for them under the policy instituted by the Bush Admin.

Damn right!
Which idiot bean-counter came up with this brainless idea?
Not only is it a totally rotten thing to do, it’s going to hurt recruiting because if a potential enlistee gets the idea that Uncle Sam is going to want the bonus back if he is injured in combat, why the hell would he be stupid enough to sign?
Penny-wise, pound-foolish indeed!

I rarely post, but this just burns me up.
I would tell them to stick their letter where the sun doesn’t shine.
Time to write my Congressman.

Agreed probably an isolated incident, but not beyond the realm of possibility to be a dirty trick by the rats.

KDKA contacted the Pentagon. Investigators there took a look. A short time ago, a military spokesman told KDKA's Marty Griffin the bill sent to Fox was a mistake. Griffin: "You are taking this case on involving Jordan and looking into it?" Major Nathan Banks, Army spokesperson: "We are. We are ... definitely working it out. We have seen where the problems have been made, the system, and we're just making - you know, give us the opportunity to make a wrong a right." Major Banks says Fox will not have to pay back his bonus.
