That's outrageous!

Military demanding bonus pay back from wounded vets

“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.” Jordan Fox of Pittsburgh was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, cutting his service short by three months. “A few days ago, he received a letter from the military demanding nearly $3,000 of his signing bonus back.”
Jordan Fox injured his back and lost the sight in his right eye but that wasn't good enough to cover his re-enlistment bonus.

Another great example of 'supporting the troops'.
