This is fucking shameful.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers, many of whom served multiple combat tours, have been ordered to repay large enlistment bonuses — and slapped with interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens if they refuse — after audits revealed widespread overpayments by the California Guard at the height of the wars last decade.

If you make a mistake and overpay soldiers, then you suck it up. Taking that money back is absolutely shameful.
