Give It Back???

It is not enough that American troops are suffering from both physical and mental problems after serving in Bush's Iraq war. It is not enough that these troops have lost limbs in Iraq. It is not enough that American soldiers and Marines have had their lives altered forever. Now Bush's Pentagon wants more.

According to a Raw Story post from KDKA, wounded American have been told to return signing bonuses:

The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.

To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.

Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back....

This is absolutely horrible! Is this how a grateful nation repays the troops?

President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and the rest of their administration lied us into a war in Iraq. Now they are breaking promises to our injured men and women. It is time to call your Representative and Senators to stop this return of signing bonuses.

Contact U.S. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives.
