See this is what happens when you sign up for money and not for the love of your country.
Apparently, thousands of wounded soldiers who served in Iraq are being asked to return part of their enlistment bonuses — because their injuries prevented them from completing their tours. From Pittsburgh’s KDKA:
Fox was seriously injured when a roadside bomb blew up his vehicle. He was knocked unconscious. His back was injured and lost all vision in his right eye.
A few months later Fox was sent home. His injuries prohibited him from fulfilling three months of his commitment. A few days ago, he received a letter from the military demanding nearly $3,000 of his signing bonus back.
“I tried to do my best and serve my country. I was unfortunately hurt in the process. Now they’re telling me they want their money back,” he explained.
Happy Veterans Day
