The military has been giving generous enlistment bonuses, sometimes up to $30,000. Would you believe that the military is ordered wounded soldiers to return part of that money when they are injured in the line of duty and can't fullfill their tour? Well, it's true according to this article on the website for tv station KDKA in Pittsburg.

Fox was seriously injured when a roadside bomb blew up his vehicle. He was knocked unconscious. His back was injured and lost all vision in his right eye.

A few months later Fox was sent home. His injuries prohibited him from fulfilling three months of his commitment. A few days ago, he received a letter from the military demanding nearly $3,000 of his signing bonus back.

It's a slap for Fox's mother, Susan Wardezak, who met with President Bush in Pittsburgh last May. He thanked her for starting Operation Pittsburgh Pride which has sent approximately 4,000 care packages

This stinks of Walter Reed all over again.
