Army specialist Tyson Johnson of Mobile, Ala., had just been promoted in a field ceremony in Iraq when a mortar round exploded outside his tent, almost killing him.
"It took my kidney, my left kidney, shrapnel came in through my head, back of my head," he recounted.
His injuries forced him out of the military, and the Army demanded he repay an enlistment bonus of $2,700 because he'd only served two-thirds of his three-year tour.
When he couldn't pay, Johnson's account was turned over to bill collectors. He ended up living out of his car when the Army reported him to credit agencies as having bad debts, making it impossible for him to rent an apartment.

Considering the ABC stamp on this, I bet this is a complete lie. Besides, libs don't even want us to have an army. Libs are the true enemy of the United States. Luckily, libism kills itself by self-inflicted population control. We can not reason with a lib or they wouldn't be libs. Libs are the unreasonable who should be institutionalized. Don't forget to take your meds, libs.

I went to the DMV today, actually to two different offices. All I could think of was that this would be the result of nationalized health care, which is the next move by the socialists, actually selling it to the ignorant by using the word, "free." You think health care is bad now, just you wait, you incompetent enemies of America.

"In 1900, 41 percent of the U.S. labor force was employed in agriculture. Now, only two percent of today's labor force works in agricultural jobs. If declining employment is used as a gauge of an industry's health, agriculture is America's sickest industry."
