Are they insulting or "just" incompetent

Radio station KDKA, in Pittsburgh reports that wounded soldiers who are unable to complete their military commitments are being dunned to return part of the bonuses they got for signing up.

Do we want people who are so stupid and insensitive in charge of dangerous weapons? Let alone depending on them for our national security.

I am not surprised. I was discharged from the Army over 40 years ago. I served with a seargent who had n a battlefield commission was awarded two bronze stars with the V for valor a Silver Star and four purple hearts. This seargant was promoted to commission rank and after the war assigned to West Point to teach infantry tactics to future generals.

He awoke one morning and found himselfe back to the rank of sergeant. He was the victim of a place reduction in force. (RiFFed in military terms_

He was good enough to teach, but not good enough to serve with officers, because he was not good enough to be one of them, because he was not regular army he only had a reserve commiss

With an attitude like that. It's a wonder they can recruit anybody
