> Maimed in Iraq, then mistreated, neglected, and hidden in America

A 22 year old joins the National Guard. He is given a $2999 bonus for joining. He is stationed in Iraq, and is injured in Baghdad. Extensive head & severe internal injuries, two broken arms etc, etc, and is now 100% disabled. Is given the ’Purple Heart’. His life will never be the same. And the National Guard wants the $2999 back, and it shows on this young soldiers credit report that he now owes the National Guard $2999. This Administration should bow their heads in shame!!! I come from a military family, and I will never allow my 16 & 12 year old grandsons to fight for idiots like Rumsfield, Cheney, Rove, and Bush. Their Mom served in the AF Military Police for ten years, their Dad just retired after 20 years OSI, & my Dad retired after 30 years, CWO4.
