Wow, I knew retention was low in the Army

But seriously this kind of screw up happens all the time, just ask SgtGoose who was reported as, well for a lack of better words, Dead.

So, I'm sure someone (a low ranking PVT) will be getting their ass chewed over this one. Then the Army will report that the individual has been counseled and the whole issue will be brushed under the carpet.

I can see the letter now:

\"We know you've made the ultimate sacrifice for your country...

But we think you can give more!\"

Jack-asses.

What a bunch of Ass Clowns. How insensitive can the Army get? I bet we haven't seen the lowest of the low yet?

During the first 2 yrs of the war, the Army was calling up the \"IRR\" and called-up over 100 Disabled veterans that were discharged because of their disability.
Most were in the 80-100% disability ranger and even though the VA had them listed as that, the Army said \"We'll see fpr ourself when you report.\"
One Capt who lost both legs in a Helo crash was on the News anout it.

It was bad enough that Congress past a bill and the President signed it that if \"You are called back to duty and have a VA disability rating, you still get your disability pay on top of your Active pay\" needless to say all these folks reported and were sent home after buying uniforms,etc... to goto to medical exams and such.
But if your 40% or less and in a skill level they need and you can hack training they kept them. Before they Booted them out.

So thats pretty bad.
