Outrageous!!!!! Obama where are you when your soldiers need you? The Joint Chiefs of Staff should have stopped this before it ever began.....squelching on your soldiers is tantamount to TREASON. Our warriors should not have to repay these bonuses that were promised to them by a then "grateful POTUS and JCofS. BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

It’s a mistaken overpayment. Isn’t there a statute of limitations? They’re going back over 10 years.

CA needs the money to give Obamacare to their illegals, so fork it over, soldiers. Absolutely shameful.

What is outrageous was the illegal use of taxpayer money. At least one of the Guardsmen went to prison over the wrongdoing.

And everyone should know by now - don’t trust anything that the recruiter tells you.

This is one instance where I wish the plaintiffs could get triple damages for the very idea of this. Just produce your $5,000 letter and get $15,000 instantly.

They need someone like Donald Trump to fund the legal services(Class action lawsuit) to sue the pentagon over this mater.

Brought to you by our friends at the DNC, Obama, and her heinous HRC.

If it can be proven in a court that a particular soldier engaged in *fraud* to procure the payment then of course it should be returned.Anything else...no way!

Got an idea for the Trump people: have Trump pay off this debt for the soldiers out of his pocket. Would amount to what, a million or so? Be amazing good will.

The Pentagon "misplaces" $billions, Obama gives Iran $150 billion, plus another $400 million in cash, and these assholes pull this stunt?!

(see my tagline since 2008)

I need to see many more details about the re-enlistment procedure before I decide who is at fault here.

I will speculate that the re-enlistment contracts stated the exact amount of the bonus, or stated the exact calculation necessary to determine the bonus, and stated the exact conditions that had to be met to receive the bonus, and stated the exact maximum bonus that would be paid under any circumstance.

I will also speculate that a significant percentage of the soldiers immediately reported they received an overpayment, and they immediately returned that overpayment to the Army, without any coercive actions by the Army at all.

We can send plane loads of cash to our enemy and have the balls to bring up an issue like this?
Everything this administration does is a smack in the face to honest Americans.

Our military deserves to be overpaid for once. Let them keep their bonuses. Take back the citizenship of the 800 foreigners, who were mistakenly given citizenship when they weren’t suppose to be given it. Better yet severly fine and fire the idiot who mistakenly gave out the citizenship.
