Dude, get used to it!! It's the same bullshit the politicians and the VA pull all the time. Just like the deal with the Montgomery GI bill where Veterans who served between 1980-92 don't receive benefits after they have discharged. Of course when I joined they did not tell you this LITTLE fact. Now believe me when I say, if I would have know this when I was a young 17yr old SNOT, I would have told them to kiss my ass. And they pretty much hid it for several years from the service members, a lot of people got out after their first tour because of it. I decided to stay as the damage was done and getting out wasn't going to fix the problem, I enjoyed the Army so I stayed for 12yrs. The military institutions, in and of it's self, the command, the core people and units are fabulous and a pleasure to work for and with hand in hand. It's the government institutions above the military command that CONSTANTLY fuck the service members, that's what we get for our selfless service and sacrifice. !threaten RAM22
