Looks like the word is FAST....Military Says Bonus Letter Was A 'Mistake'

Fast is right. Laura did O'Reilly's show for him last (He is in Afghanistan.). She was all over this too.

This needs a deeper look to check if final payments to KIA families have also been docked for this. They probably would not even notice.

I disagree with that Army Major's characterization of this as a mistake. This is no mistake. This is an atrocity. An atrocity rooted in a DOD civilian manpower level of almost 700,000. Those 700,000 make all the rules.

I am impressed by one part of this. That is that we have American civilians who recognize mistreatment of our own soldiers and are willing to make that mistreatment a national, public issue overnight while demanding immediate accountability.

Protecting our own soldiers is always a good thing.
