I'm going to take this slow, because otherwise I'll burst a vein in my forehead:
U.S. combat veterans who signed contracts with the government to serve their God, country and leader, yet allowed themselves the luxury of requiring a band-aid or major-limb prosthetic (thus rendering themselves unable to fulfill their contractual obligations), are reneging on giving back their signing bonuses!
Who the Holy Heck do these prima donnas think they are?! 
They made themselves unfit for any use in the War Against Terror, and now they want to keep the money?!? The fact is, they expect us to LET THEM KEEP THE MONEY!
I hate them all, as do you. I don't know why we don't just kill them, really. And then pry the dollars from their cold dead fingers.

Wounded soldiers asked to return signing bonuses
When Jordan Fox was serving in Iraq, his mother helped organize Operation Pittsburgh Pride, which sends thousands of care packages to U.S. troops from his hometown, which prompted a personal “thank you” from the White House. When Fox was seriously injured in Iraq, the president sent what appeared to be personal note, expressing his concerns to the Fox family.
But more recently, Fox received a different piece of correspondence from the Bush administration.
The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.
To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.
Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.
I watched the report from the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, and I kept thinking, “This can’t be right.” Apparently, it is.
