After years of service to our country, soldiers were fired for not getting an experimental vaccine. As if that wasn’t nasty enough, the Biden administration demanded these same soldiers give back their “signing bonuses” after years of service and multiple deployments.
One soldier had to “sell” 60 of his unused vacation days to pay it back and cover the protracted amount owed.
“I’ve deployed multiple times, and I feel like the last thing I had was selling leave days that I earned and was never able to take due to me being deployed or needing that time to prepare for the training cycle. I was about to enter a new world with no income, and that extra bit would have been a nice buffer in my rainy day fund to keep me afloat until I was able to find new employment,” he said.
“The Department of Defense continues to fall short on reestablishing trust for wrongdoings, and this is yet another example of that,” another service member told Fox News Digital, who said the recoupment of signing bonuses is the “icing on the cake” of the Pentagon’s recent treatment of troops.
“The appalling treatment these individuals endured broke the trust that is owed to our citizens and our volunteers. America’s sons and daughters,” the Army member said in a statement. “Until true efforts are made to establish trust, the recruiting and retention shortfalls will only continue. The individuals who make public statements that they are unsure what has contributed to the current recruiting and retention shortfalls need to take a look in the mirror; and perhaps they should resign for the betterment of our Nation.”
With all the money we pour into people here illegally, this is how we treat our military. The Biden administration is evil.
Still, its better than dying in Eastern Europe for Hunter Biden - which is coming.....
DISGUSTING!
“Until true efforts are made to establish trust, the recruiting and retention shortfalls will only continue.”
They’re just going to offer citizenship to illegals if they enlist to make up the shortfall. Watch.
Making America strong! The hypocrisy of the woke is on full display. The push vaccines on soldiers because they care so much for soldiers lives. That’s bull 💩.
They are taking his money and giving it to Zelensky. This regime and those scum in Congress are total traitors.
Vindictive jerks. Contrary to the honed public persona of the amicable Uncle Joe, Brandon is a nasty piece of work.
I can’t imagine an English-optional workplace in the military.
The Department of Defense is run by Idiots
Ah, we’ve got google translate now.
It's as if the messycan cartels own Newsome. /s
“..Vindictive jerks. Contrary to the honed public persona of the amicable Uncle Joe, Brandon is a nasty piece of work....”
We don’t call it the “pedoPIG” around these parts for nothin’.
We know EXACTLY what Uncle Joe really is...and a “nasty piece of work” is waaayyyy too kind for the diaper-wrapped demented bassturd.
Call your elected (or are they there via voter fraud) Elitist politician at 202-224-3121 (DC switchboard) and share your comments about this BS. Meanwhile, the Congress is busy trying to find new ways to pad their own pockets via the taxpayers.
They push the Covax on soldiers for the same reason they push the Covax on everyone else: to assert their dominance.
And certain people on FR will cheer.
Because they really have not thought their cunning plan through.
I’m a veteran. No way would I join the military as it exists today.
Me too. Me either.................
Signing bonuses are inducements to enlistments, but now not so much when we see how they can be taken away. This is especially stupid when the services are have difficulty recruiting.
Shame of the government! Those bonuses were an enticement to enlist, which they did.
I’m sure the “big guy” is getting his 10% of the “recovered” bonuses from our soldiers. So why should he be bothered by it?
