OWL, the “debts” are accounting errors that the Defense Department is making, the guys aren’t getting loans. Normally it’s equipment that isn’t accounted for or special pay that wasn’t stopped when the individuals were evacuated.

I meant it’s sickening that they’re harassing the soldiers for medical debt, etc…

Oh, my. I like Steve Bates' comment that they were going to run the govt like Enron. I think he's got something there:) As far as them harassing the guys in the hospital, at least they aren't charging the people who died! Report: Injured Soldiers Drowning In Medical DebtThe report from the Government Accountability Office said another 400 who died in the wars had $300,000 in debt but that the Defense Department doesn't pursue collection of people killed in combat. Sickening!

They are harassing guys in the hospital over meals and the body armor that was cut off when they were med-evaced, but they can’t account for a terabuck?

A terabyte of money, $ 1,000,000,000,000 – that’s real money…

It must have been diverted for use in the “war on tera” …

When the Republicans said they were going to run the government like a business, they apparently meant Enron.

ROTFL! If I remember when I get home this evening, that may become the banner quote on my site. Now if only we can just get some of these folks into court, as we have done with the Enron criminals…
