The Los Angeles Times (link) reported that nearly 10,000 soldiers, many of whom completed multiple combat tours, have been ordered to repay the cash bonuses after audits revealed widespread overpayments by California Guard officials.

Yes, the law is pretty clear that only someone with delegated authority can bind the government. Different than a private transaction where someone with apparent authority may be able to bind the company. (FCIC v. Merrill and subsequent cases)

True, but the government paid it, tacitly admitting the debt. Then, there is the time factor. IANAL.
That. Is. So. Wrong.
Or in the Clinton’s “foundation”.................
don’t pay
there is no debt, no y note, no basis for the claim
Is it any wonder that the political elites worry about their safety?
Surprised some angry Vet who is getting screwed over by the V.A. and then by the Calif. Governor hasn’t kicked browns ass so far.
