Short of enough troops to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan more than 10 years ago, the Bush Pentagon ordered/allowed the California National Guard to hand out "bonuses" of $15,000 and more, to lure men and women into signing up for the two front war in the Middle East.
Now, today, the Obama Pentagon is demanding the money back. No apologies. No grace period. 10,000 soldiers are in the cross-hairs of the Pentagon, This is the Federal government, not the California National Guard, making this demand. This (ultimately) is Barack Obama and his end game against the military.
"Explanations" (code for "excuses") abound, but, in the end, Obama has, once again, stuck a knife in the back of the men and women in our military. He has his social welfare programs to fund. To hell with the military.
This kind of crap goes hand in hand with his orders to terminate commanding officers, robbing them of their full and potential retirement wages, and, doing so while they were literally on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the same back stabbing coward who went to sleep 7 hours before two of his solders were murdered in Benghazi, men screaming for help, not knowing that their commander had written them off for the sake of winning an election. He is nothing but a coward, a man who cares not for the sacrifices of our solders . . . not one damn bit of feeling for our solders. I mean, he pissed off a 5 year war and its victory, in Iraq, ordering a retreat that mocked the deaths of 5,000 men and women who fought to win that war, and left behind millions of dollars worth of equipment now being used by ISIS.
