Pentagon reneges on bonus offer to National Guard and Army reserve troops. This is the Administrations idea of supportiing our troops.

The Pentagon has reneged on its offer to pay a $15,000 bonus to members of the National Guard and Army Reserve who agree to extend their enlistments by six years, according to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Seattle).

The bonuses were offered in January to Active Guard and Reserve and military technician soldiers who were serving overseas. In April, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs ordered the bonuses stopped, Murray said.

Damn this is low! You trick these poor grunts into signing up and placing themselves in harms way and then take back the offer if they manage to survive their tour of duty. This administration sucks beyond belief!

I wonder what impact this will have on those recruitment numbers? If they have plans to continue fighting this war they are going to have to fight it using foreign mercenaries because I think that Americans are getting a little too informed. Sometimes the complete incompetence of this group of Yahoos almost makes me laugh. Almost!
