Pentagon demands injured Iraq vets repay signing bonuses.
  • Didn't we hear about this in 2004?

    I can't find a good link, but I recall that a photojournalist, Nita? Nina? Berman? did a photoessay on wounded soldiers, I believe in 2004. I seem to remember she mentioned that some of the wounded were "asked" to return a portion of their signing bonuses.

    Also, Karen Fragala wrote about this, I believe, in Newsweek at least a couple of years ago.

    Well, anyway...more to the point: It's about time that the military rank-and-file and their families began to face reality. If they continue to support this illegal, immoral War of Choice, I wish I could ask them to return my tax dollars that were wasted on executing this ridiculous war.
