CALIFORNIA SOLDIERS BEING "DUNNED" FOR BACK PAY

We have the finest military in the world, the bravest guys and girls in uniform. We have spent decades building up our Armed Forces since the "Jane Fonda" inspired public collapse of confidence of our people in uniform.
      Our public has honored, paid tribute to the fallen each and every time. I say this without reservation. Our current government lags in supporting our fellow volunteers in the service, far behind the voters.
      I am ashamed and embarrassed by press reports out of California that say the Pentagon is going after the soldiers who were asked to re-enlist due to short-falls and were paid bonuses to do so. NOW, THE PENTAGON IS GOING AFTER THE BONUSES, AND FORCING THE GI's TO RETURN THE MONEY.
      Shameful. My anger and resentment knows no bounds. I think we should all contact our Congressional representative and lodge a protest.  How are we ever to encourage continued enlistments while stabbing loyal soldiers in the back like this?
