This is in any way, shape or form wrong because:
1. It's a slap on the cheek to go after the people who put their lives on the line for this country. This will also make anybody think twice before they sign up for service in the future.
2. Said soldiers delivered their agreed service at the agreed price per market economy. If the Pentagon wants to cover the budget hole, they have better ways of doing it such as
- close Guantanamo
- pull the troops back from one of the many wars we take part in.
- go after the joint strike fighter tragedy or buy a plane less
3. It is way beyond the statute of limitations in regards to IRS tax guidelines for personal income.
4. It will put unreasonable hardship on our soldiers.
