Wounded soldiers are being sent a bill from the pentagon to repay their signing bonus if wounded in war?

The threatening letter Kari got warns if she doesn't repay $2,505.70 of her enlistment bonus, the Army will send a bill collector after her. The Department of Defense is clear: the amount owed is considered the "unearned portion of her enlistment bonus".


For the situations that our soldiers put themselves in for dirt pay, I sure hope this is not a common occurance.

Thanks. I am hoping the local new station runs an update to this.
