On the call, the Department of Defense outlined a plan to go through the bonuseson a case-by-case basisa process the DoD said could take as long as 9 months. The Department of Defense officials made it clear that theyre not eager tosolve this injustice, but quiteinterested in getting the story out of the headlines to stop their own embarrassment. Their half-baked plan still fails to address what will happen to the veterans whove had their credit ruined, their life savings taken from themor been forced to refinance their homes.The bottom line is that soldiers sacrificed for our nation, accepted the offers in good faith and deserve to be made whole immediately. Secretary Carter and the National Guard need to stop the delays put forward a plan for when and how these veterans will have every penny returned to them and get serious about righting this horrible injustice. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
