Pentagon Cancels $15K Signing Bonus for Soldiers

Atrios: The Pentagon has reneged on its offer to pay a $15000 bonus to members of the Natl Guard & Army Reserve who agree to extend their enlistments by 6 yrs. Who knew that indentured servitude was alive and well in our 2005 military? Gee... the GOPers, Neo-Cons, and WH certainly do know how to "Support Our Troops", huh? I wish a pack of beefy and buff soldiers would rip those yellow magnets off of GOP voters' cars and shove them up those voters' asses... waaaay deep. Let this news hit the streets... we'll see how the recruitment numbers sink even lower. And the Govs of all the States need to start screaming. It will affect them in the end because they rely on the Guard for disasters etc. and soon these Govs won't have their Guard at a decent strength level b/c who in their right mind would sign up, and get bent over and pounded like this, w/out a reach around or a kiss?
