So, they accidentally allow 1800 illegals to become citizens but can’t reverse that error, but can come after patriots 10 years after they make the error. Got it.

Hillary will say, "Make these bastards pay back every cent they owe the government".

Trump would say, "Shut the hell up and leave these soldiers alone. They risked their lives to earn this money"

Seems like there would be a statute of limitations on such things.

There would certainly be if it were the other way around, the government owed the peasants.

It’s not an accident if it was in their contract. They can’t just go and say, oh we put $12,000 in your enlistment contract but it was supposed to be $10,000. Sorry.

They signed a contract, government says contract was wrong, but contract was signed by both parties.

What’s legal and what’s moral here might not be synonymous.

The Pentagon needs to fix this and do it in such a way that if benefits or special considerations are offered in the future, they will still be believed. What recruiting prospect is going to want to hire lawyers and investigators to find out whether they were told the truth, before signing on the dotted line? In the future, I would say there needs to be somewhere that the buck is guaranteed to stop. That there is a way for the Pentagon to say it in such a way that it will NOT be gone back on, EVER.

So will the government return the years of service of those who reenlisted because of the bonus and perhaps even the lives of those killed in duty? No? I didn't think so.

I hate to say this, but this is GREAT for our side.

The timing is PERFECT.

Much worse would have been if this news came out Nov 9th.

Sorry, but it’s true.

Trump would almost certainly both pony up for this and make arrangements for a tighter managed system in the future, so that even the QUESTION can’t arise. It’s waste and graft, but it shouldn’t be on the backs of the vets who actually performed a constitutional duty.

“Rather than forgive the loans, the California state government embarked on an audit of more than 17,000-—)

Yet the Dems want to forgive student loans.

Words fail me.

So the current Resident in the White House has a pen and a phone, issues executive orders and also grants Presidential pardons for criminals but he can’t handle this? Figures.

I really hope Trump runs with this story during his final stretch.

They put the wrong amount in the contract, yet it was signed by both parties? How on earth would they have any legal ground to stand on?

Ha! $6 billion missing from Hitlery’s state dept., no problem.
