Wounded Soldiers Ordered to Repay Signing Bonus!!

THIS IS BULL SHIT!!A person signs up to receive a bonus when he or she has completed their training and for a certain number of years. Then because we are at war, the person is wounded severely in the line of duty and has to be medically discharged and in many cases has lost a limb or more. Now the government wants to take back the signing bonus because the service member was wounded because of where our government sent him or her.
Department of Defense is responsible for this happening and sending bills. You would think our own military would have some understanding of what this would do to our military members. Evidently the Generals are out to lunch with the politicians and are too worried about their own jobs to actually be good military leaders.This is showing complete disrespect to the service member and all our military stands for. The patriotism and loyality to this country is being thrown in ALL veterans faces because of this treatment to our new generation of warriors. No veteran should allow this to happen but should make a stand on this to make our politicians responsible for their actions
THESE WOUNDED WARRIOR HAVE EARNED THAT DAMN BONUS AND A LOT MORE BESIDES!! IF OUR POLITICIANS CAN'T SEE THIS AND CORRECT THE DOD POLICY THEN THEY SHOULD STEP DOWN OR BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY AT OUR OWN MILITARY'S EXPENSE.
Let me know if you agree with me!!
