Nearly 10,000 soldiers, who served multiple combat tours, ordered to repay enlistment bonuses — with interest charges

Ended up submitting my reply ;) imgflip.com/i/1d0d5a

Bad photoshop ftw

Both my disgust and rage meters have exploded over this one, I have no idea which is higher.

The government is so f-Ed up. My BIL is a flight instructor and everyonce in a while, the students are grounded because there is no money in budget for fuel. Lol.

What gives? I replied to this comment twice! I just noticed they don't show.

I'm not sure?!?!

Seriously though, wtf

About 10,000 vets of the Iran war who re-enlisted when the country needed them and were given bonuses by recruiters are now getting bills and wages garnished because the RECRUITERS abused the system. So effed up, yet another promise to vets being broken. Obama could pass an executive order today laying this to rest, it is something he DOES have the constitutional power to make right.

He does constitutional power to make right and he should use it now!

CONGRESS has the power and should do something first. IF they can't or don't then the president should step in.

Its kind of tough when congress is out of session until after the election. The point was to apply immediate relief as wages were being garnished, so by the link you posted to me, it looks like a temporary solution is in place to stop that until July anyways.

1. Can you find Iran on a map? Hint: It borders Iraq where we did fight a war. 2. How exactly do you garnish bills? Wouldn't that be a good thing? This was a real issue and still facts elude the deranged. (Pentagon shut that down 10-26)

Maybe you should get back some of that Iran hostage money....or collect from the govt employees who spent govt money in titty bars using the govt credit cards!

A former senior government executive at the center of the General Services Administration’s Las Vegas conference scandal pleaded guilty to fraud Tuesday for making false expense claims.
Jeffrey E. Neely, a one-time acting regional administrator for GSA, acknowledged in federal court in San Francisco that he submitted a claim for casino lodging that he knew was not for official business.
The former official also admitted that he obstructed justice by submitting false documents and certifying them as true during GSA’s investigation, and that he failed to claim annual leave on certain dates, resulting in agency losses that exceeded $5,000.
Neely, 59, of Gardnerville, Nev., faces up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000 at his scheduled sentencing June 30. He agreed to pay $8,000 in restitution as part of the plea.
Details of the lavish Las Vegas conference surfaced in a 2012 inspector general’s probe that The Washington Post first reported. The review found that Neely organized a GSA training event that cost $800,000 for 300 employees, with activities that included a $75,000 bicycle-building exercise.

Trump has a great plan to overhaul the VA and get vets the help they deserve.

Need some enlisted men in there, replace those West Point Annapolis pencil neck geeks with some grunts that came up through the ranks. Every time I see Admiral Kirby I want to puke.

This is just a recurring problem that as plague the US government far too long, just look at the VA right now, they still do most of there work on paper when they could save time and money if they kept that information in a computer database. :/

It just goes to show you that programs like the Wounded Warrior Project exist because they need to. Also it's extremely ironic when we are #1 in Military strength but can't even protect our own veterans when they come back to their homes. Liberal or Conservative this should not be a issue, and should be something we could all agree on.

Spot on!

I don't do political memes that often, but here is my thought on who I want to vote for: imgflip.com/i/1d1ewf

The Navy is also expected to take delivery of the new Gerald R Ford class of supercarriers within the next year or so.

Construction began in August 2005. Mr. Obama just happens to be the one home when the UPS man arrives. If there are any enlisted men/women in your family, ask them how they really feel.

So he can't get credit for anything that happens while he is president that was in motion before him but he can get all the blame. GOTCHA.

SURE TAKE THE CREDIT!!!

That's a state issue not federal.

Still a moron I see. It is a state national guard, which still falls under the US Military and bound by them. Also as a said earlier if you could read I DON"T CARE WHERE IT BEGAN WHO IS RESPONSIBLE but there is someone who can end it today.

Here, this is how it's done: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-defense-chief-pentagon-repayments-20161026-story.html

yeah....but not obama

Shouldn't we let the GOP controlled CONGRESS do their job before the almighty caramel Messiah (See above comments) waves his muslim socialist dictator pen....right?

Congress is out of session, and don't attach racist remarks I did not make to me. I have no problem condemning that remark.

Done.

Well, almost, its basically under "review" until July of next year. Now lets see if someone fixes it, or just lets it sit. At least for now I'm happy :)
