Oct. 14, 2004 -- Following inquiries by ABC News, the Pentagon has dropped plans to force a severely wounded U.S. soldier to repay his enlistment bonus after injuries had forced him out of the service.

I saw the preview on the news, I intend to watch it.

This is such a crock of shit, its the reserves and National Guard that are serving in Iraq now, many of them law enforcement and emergency personnel who should be protecting us now at HOME!

What good is a paramedic in the U.S. with no arms?

This is exactly what's wrong with the United States - Comments like this. You blame the sitting president, even though this is the same system that's been in place since the 1940's?

A good friend of mine spent eight years in the Army maintaing trucks that carried nuclear material. Something leaked, causing him to have water on the brain. After 17 operations on his brain and nearly twenty years, he is finally on 100% disability. The twenty years were a rough struggle for him.

It is not all Bush's fault. However it is his fault he's put them in harms way in Iraq.

I've been angry at how our soldiers have been treated for years. I brought up before on this board at how in Colorado Springs I witnessed so many soldiers having to sell their plasma in order to just have some extra cash to buy groceries for their family that week.

It's a damn shame...and something that should be changed.

I'd like to see Bush stuffed "up front" in any war to give him some experience to make judgements.

The guy ain't got a clue about fuck all - nevermind taking people into a war.

He needs some job milking cows in Texas. Don't let him near an oil well - he fucked that up already

Seriously useless...

We should go back to the days when the leader of a nation led his people into battle .

I wonder how many wars we would have then.
