I bet they all knew they were not eligible for the bonuses and took it anyway. This is the national guard from what the link says.I'm not sure anyone is getting screwed here.Of all the people to fuck . . .
Disgusting!
seems like they didn't deserve the bonuses to begin with but someone at the state level was pushing them through fraudulently - screwing over everyone else

"The Pentagon is seeking to recover decade-old reenlistment bonuses paid to thousands of California Army National Guard soldiers to go fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday."
I'm trying to figure out why dont they go after the state instead of the people? Of course the state is going to go after them then.
I did it for less..Hey...................quick question.....................how many civilians do you guys on this thread think would be willing to go into a hot war zone where they are firing weapons and planting IED's all around for a measly 15,000?
IT does not require Congress when the Chief Executive can simply order it to be given.Congress is the one that needs to fix this F==kup. It's about money. They are the ones who approve how money gets spent.Obama loves to screw our military.
You do a lot of things for less. lolI did it for less..
Agree.Of all the people to fuck . . .
Disgusting!
I know lots of people that would do if for less but that has nothing to do with the point. I'm pretty sure they knew they were not really eligible. They are soldiers not mercenaries.I bet they all knew they were not eligible for the bonuses and took it anyway.

Hey.................if they went over there and put boots down in a war zone, as far as I'm concerned, they completed the requirements for getting the money. Like I asked before, how many people do YOU know who would be willing to get shot at for 6 months for only 15,000?
One of the dumbest excuses I heard for getting back the bonus was on the news tonight. Seems that some dude had served a full 20 years active duty, and then, because he liked the lifestyle, kept on with a Reservist outfit and was asked if he'd deploy if they paid him a bonus. He said sure and went, they paid him the money, but now are saying that because he retired from active duty he isn't eligible for the bonus, even though he spent a full deployment over there getting shot at.
I'm a cheap date..You do a lot of things for less. lolI did it for less..
This is a issue both sides can agree on. What will you say if President Obama does an EO to waive all bonus paybacks for these vets? Blame him for overstepping with an EO?Obama loves to screw our military.

Never waste an opportunity to blame something on liberals sight unseen....eh?aren't libtards stupid pos?Now veterans are being told that even though they risked their asses by going into war zones in the ME, they are not eligible for the bonuses they were given and are being told they have to repay them. Many were given enlistment bonuses of 15,000 or more.
Pentagon Demands Return Of Cash Bonuses Paid To California Soldiers For Going To War A Decade Ago
Now, considering that most of our military live paycheck to paycheck because they don't get paid enough (an E-6 over 20 years of service only makes 36,000/yr), most of them will have a financial hardship in paying back the money.
I say let them keep the money, and let it go at that. They served in a war zone and risked their asses. They deserve the money for reenlisting and going back into a war zone.
Does anyone else find this reprehensible?
Oh, that's right, that is what they call it now, roflmaoI'm a cheap date..You do a lot of things for less. lolI did it for less..

Budget authorizations (of which this is one), cannot be done by EO.
