Vets told to pay back bonuses


Oct 24, 2016, 11:23 PM

We can pay millions for illegal immigrants, but we must go after the guys who have served our Country. This is sickening.

Trump or Clinton should pay off this debt for these soldiers. Who ever did it first would get my vote. This is also the first and probably only time I will agree with the monster Feinstein.

hmm, soldiers that served in combat, or national guard? Big difference if we are going to be shedding crocodile tears.

between people who serve in combat and people who run around once a month in the woods with live ammo?

Wait, you're being serious right now.


Oct 25, 2016, 11:55 AM

National Guard troops do more than run around in the woods once a month. They deploy into combat zones alongside active duty troops. They were used EXTENSIVELY in the Global War on Terrorism, and they are deployed extensively today.

P.S. Keep your ignorance regarding our military members to yourself.

national guard are deployed in their home states. At some point you are going to have to stop making things up to support your stupid narrative.

This shows just how pathetic you really are Balm. National Guard was deployed to Afhanistan, Iraq and all over the Middle East. There are still National Guard troops deployed.

These guys cannot afford to pay back a bonus they received and were promised.

Dude, you need to see a therapist or something.

This is stemming from 2004/5, when nobody wanted to re up so they were throwing cash at everyone.

The DoD doesn't pay for illegal immigrants


Oct 25, 2016, 2:23 PM

they do, however, waste money in lots of ways. Cut any one of the 10 things listed in the article below and the DoD can more than afford to cover the losses from improperly distributed bonuses.
