This is disgraceful for the government to renege.  It was the governments’s mistake – so they just need to suck it up and write it off.  If Hillary Clinton can get away with stealing $6 million of the State Department’s money which she could not account for – why should these soldiers have to repay these bonuses.

Besides with all of corruption in the Pentagon – tell them to write it off as “cost of stupidity in doing business,” and use one of those $75 government hammers which should hammer it home!
