What about the people who mortgaged their houses to pay it back?
Translation: Election day Nov 8
ISSUE another Cash Bonus for the soldiers’ pain and suffering on this.
Probably suspended until Nov 9 or so.
...and who’s stupid idea was this? Barky’s? He needs more money to give to Iran???...
If I were the Military, I would walk into the Oval Office, put hand cuffs on him and march him to Git-Mo where he should be in the first place!!!
Anywhere else, i.e. private sector; the participants would have been quietly “grandfathered” and keep the bonus.
Another example of how demoCraps hate the military and it’s members.
What happened to the recruiters and their superiors who approved these improper bonuses? How about the financial corps types who allowed these bonuses to be paid out in the first place. That needs to be cleaned out to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Has the California National Guard officer corps be swept clean, revoke some pensions, give out some dishonorable discharges. If the guys who got the bonuses were somehow in on it, get rid of them too, but that is a small part of the problem.
Did Ash Carter approve this fiasco in the first place ?
Well, we may be F’n over the troops and the SECDEF could give a damn, but by God the Secretary of Defense Ash Carter is pleased to announce that transgender individuals will now be able to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces.
So, at least the troops have got that going for them.
Because transgenders being allowed to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces makes the US military a more fierce and feared fighting force.
About time. Congress has known about this for at least two years.
In other words, Give us back the money we gave you by accident BUT we can't revoke the accidental citizenship we gave to a 800 + illegal immigrate that were supposed to be escorted to the opposite side of our border.....
un-f---ing believable!
This asshole should be fired for sheer stupidity. The Pentagon loses billions and he wants to go after our vets for government pocket change.
They fly a plane full of cash to Iran, but demand payment for their screw up from soldiers who many served and paid the ultimate price in their foreign wars.
Please, Lord, let Donald drain the DC swamp.
The political damage is done already. Looks disingenuous.
There should be a statute of limitations for debts like this.
