The signing bonus money should be able to buy adequate insurance coverages. Look around, go do some research, I'm sure they exist.

It would be tough to see the man next to me dies, and I can be just as dead any moment, so looking at the brighter side while still alive?

There's that question again. Yes, I think it is important to maintain that integrity along the chain or to he who fills my bowl with food. Nobody can get anything done without that trust and accountability to hold the pressures, secrets, or even be the fall guy when necessary.

Unless it's atrocities against humanity, I'd carry out what I need to do and shut about what I'm not suppose to say. Geesh, dude, look up the definition of work.

The military has changed its mind. This was now a "mistake" and they are checking records to insure they haven't made this same mistake with other people.

Bush is generous, especially to the troops.

I am not making the claim of being able to purchase such coverage, I am merely stating that there may be a problem in doing so.
"Atrocities against humanity" who defines those ? What are they ?

Let's go kill someone for their land, oil, their beliefs, heck just kill someone to watch their life flow out of their eyes, watch as their eyes go dead. Hitler would love you, a good drone doing a job for treats from their master. Good doggy.

By the way do you kill from in front or behind ? In front one can watch the eyes as the soul leaves.

Geesh, dude, go do it, join Blackwater or the military, do the job collect the insurance - heck you might get lucky and get a real war.

That may be so............ But what about the fact that 25% of homeless are vets???

Maybe he/we are not generous enough..........???

IMO it is petty. They should just overlook the details of the contract.... Here you have someone that is perhaps permanently harmed & or disabled trying to hold on to a few bucks before he hits the streets............

They got billions floating around there lost & much more wasted on weapons & destruction............ Why not waste a few bucks on an american/ the american ppl now & then.............???? Is that to much to ask???

They don't seem to know that my son IS in the military so I know a lot more than they do on this subject. Our soldiers are fucked by the very government who sent them out to get injured. And here's a good one for you; My son spent his time going to Iraq and Afgahnistan (3 years) and they didn't give him his small pox vaccination until he was deactivated! He's now active duty again. Sorry about the WTF icon at the begining. My curser was in the wrong place! My mouse is messed up. Guess what I want for X-mas?

Yes...just like when CEO's give back their million $$ golden parachutes when they fail to perform well.

Unless there is specific language in these signing contracts that states you'll give back bonuses if you can't complete your commitment due to injury, there is no reason to return any money.

Treatment for the injury? Oh, how generous!! How about compensation for losing a limb?

Denie

You need to do the research. It's obvious you've never dealt much with insurance. First, you'll NEVER get insurance to cover a preexisting condition. Second, you'll never get insurance to cover conditions cause by war. Read your auto policy...you'll see that war related damages are not covered. Medical ins. is even more restrictive as to what is covered. And last, $30K will get you about 5 years of Medical ins if you are healthy and under 40 years old...maybe!!!

gorillamom

You got that right. I'm not in the military but I can't get insurance because not only do I have a pre-exsisting condition, it's a rare disease so I was forced on disability just to get my medical and live in poverty. Info, you have been lucky so far, but wait until you get sick. Everything you worked for all your life will be spent on medical bills. As far as clinics, well they have a facutly doctor on staff but you are mostly seen by residents. I can't go to a clinic with a rare condition.
