Wow: Pentagon Not Returning Money to Veterans

Earlier this week, the Pentagon announced that it was suspending the program to claw-back re-enlistment bonuses from soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

No more collections notices will go out. But they said nothing about the thousands of veterans who were forced to repay their bonuses. Sec. of Defense Ash Carter made no mention of paying back the disabled veterans forced to the brink of bankruptcy in order to give the Obama administration its pound of flesh...

It's time to put an end to all of this!

Two years ago, this scandal was brought to Congress' attention and they did nothing. Don't let them sweep this under the rug again...

Send your FaxBlast to Congress below and DEMAND this claw-back program be outlawed and that all money be returned to the veterans!

Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

Two years ago, the National Guard brought the re-enlistment bonus claw-back program to your attention.

You were notified that wounded veterans were being forced to pay back tens of thousands of dollars (each) because the government determined they made too much money while serving their country.

You were told about this and yet you did nothing.

This week, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced he was suspending all attempts to collect on overpaid re-enlistment bonuses.

But his order is not permanent and it does NOTHING to fix the fact that thousands of veterans have already given the Obama administration its pound of flesh.

This executive action does nothing to address the case of Master Sgt. Bill McLain, who is officially 90% disabled because of injuries sustained to his head and back while in combat and has been paying these "debts" off.

The executive action makes no mention of refunding all the veterans who paid the "debts" rather than spend years fighting it.

These men and women served their country. They lived up to their end of the agreement. Many sacrificed life and limb to fulfill their contracts. Now, the Government was caught trying to reneg on the deal and claw-back veteran pay.

You and your colleagues need to codify into law a prohibition on clawing-back soldier pay. But you also need to force the Pentagon to return the money that they have already collected.

Not in a few weeks... Not in a few months... Now!

Sincerely,
Signed
