Last month, we told you about how the Pentagon was pushing veterans to the brink of bankruptcy in an attempt to claw back decades-old signing bonuses that they received.
Many of these veterans sacrificed life and limb to fulfill their service contracts. Now, the US Government wants its money back? No way.
Next week, Congress will vote on a Defense Appropriations Bill. As it stands now, the legislation would only prevent future attempts to collect these "debts." The Democrats have introduced an amendment that would go even further by refunding, with interest, all money that veterans have already paid and devoting resources to help these devastated veterans repair their credit histories.
The Democrats have submitted a no-strings-attached bill that will fix all of these problems. The veterans who are suffering don't care whether a bill's sponsor has an R or D next to their name. They just need our help. This legislation deserves our support!
