Thousands of CA soldiers forced to repay enlistment bonuses a decade after war

so I am assuming that the people who got bonuses they didn't qualify for knew they didn't qualify for them, and probably paid this person a kick back of some type for getting them the cash?......if so, I have no sympathy and say of course they should pay it back, in full......why shouldn't they also be prosecuted for fraud?....

I can't believe I am saying this...but I agree with PMP.
 
facts are unclear.....she may have just profited from commissions paid by the government and not from kickbacks......several people interviewed on the news said they had no idea they weren't supposed to get the bonus. One said she questioned whether she was qualified and was assured by Jaffe that she was......
 
There is an old saying, ".....the worst words in the English Language are these, I am from the government and I am here to help." -- Ronald Reagan. Another one, " the democrat plan, IF IT MOVES TAX IT....IF IT KEEPS MOVING REGULATE IT.....IF IT STOPS MOVING SUBSIDIZE IT."

I didn't.
But just based on personal character alone, I found the most persuasive testimony on it came from Secretary Powell's casus belli presentation to the U.N. General Assembly.

BUT !!

Even then I suspected something was wrong.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis the JFK administration presented AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS of alleged Soviet missiles on Cuban soil.

And what graphical aids did Secretary Powell present?

U.S. government artwork, computer generated drawings of alleged mobile WMD labs.
If they had the evidence, they should have showed it.

They didn't.
They didn't.

Lying U.S. into War is despicable!

And if there's no statute of limitations on murder (there isn't), then why is U.S. President Bush (younger) not behind bars right now for lying to the whole U.S. People?

I knew the Bush administration claims were BS the instant the press asked for proof of the WMD's Saddam had, and Rumsfeld said "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

You are voting for a presidential candidate who has committed much bigger fraud. Well, either way, it looks like I benefited from failing to claim a $20,000 student loan repayment benefit in time, because then I'd have the DOD and/or NGB breathing down my neck...

Bush should be locked up just like obama should be for encouraging illegals to come here. That is a federal felony on obama's part, one for which he could be legally executed.
