Having spent more years than I care to remember testing software, I can tell you that a single type of problem, repeating multiple times, based on one particular set of circumstances, is exactly what you'd expect from a system design or program error. I'd bet that there is an indicator or code, that is set due to a particular type of injury-related removal from active duty, which isn't being acted on properly in a DOD computer system somewhere. Probably left out of either the documentation the programmer used to create the code, or just left out when the code was written.

This problem is being fixed and the soldiers are getting their $$.
It's a Pentagon issue, not an administration issue.

Department of Defense told to stop demanding wounded soldiers return bonuses
Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds, R-Amherst, has called on the Department of Defense to stop requiring wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to repay enlistment bonuses because their injuries prohibited them from fulfilling their commitment

And then ... you have people spending months, years in the brig for being AWOL after they were honorably discharged. You see, if it's JUST a computer or system error, when people get involved they should be able to straighten it out. But they don't. B/c there's no impetus b/c frankly, it saves money and makes it look like there are more people in the military. So the failure goes beyond a system error. It's still a policy issue.

Rue, that's too logical...give Geeze & AU some reasoning that involves fairies and gremlins; they'll respond better to that.

Sounds more like the Jesse McBeth stories we know and love from the folks at MediaMatters.

Media Matters is a ultra far-left lunatic hate site that tells NOTHING but vile, nit-picked, and re-constructed lies...just my opinion of course.
