My favorite DOD punching bag, Dr Davd Chu-he of “I’d rather side with lawyers than do the right thing for military retirees” fame-really had nothing to do with this. Except in the fact that the tone he sets as Undersecretary for Personnel Readiness, sets the tone for rules enforcement such as this:
“It’s pretty much a slap in the face,” Anderson said. “I think it was a scheme to save money, personally. I think it was a leadership failure by the senior Washington leadership… once again failing the soldiers.”Anderson’s orders, and the orders of 1,161 other Minnesota guard members, were written for 729 days.Had they been written for 730 days, just one day more, the soldiers would receive those benefits to pay for school.
Yea, its not like they were busy or anything. Cause if you actually give a Soldier the benefits he’s earned-you know, like more Soldiers might want them. Can’t have that!
The stingy man indeed……….
