His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Jerry Brown has been silent on President Donald Trump's call this week for National Guard troops to help protect the southern border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That contrasts with the Democratic governor's quick response when Trump's administration recently sued over the deep blue state's immigration policy days before the president journeyed to San Diego to view his border wall prototypes earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was just the latest jousting in the escalating feud between the Trump administration and California, which has resisted the president at almost every turn on issues from marijuana policy to climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the questions and answers on relations between the Trump administration and California:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does Trump want from California? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president wants to send 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to help federal authorities combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. It isn't clear how many he would seek from California. They would provide support but not go on patrols or make arrests. Republican governors in the other border states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas backed the deployment. Even Iowa's Republican governor offered to send National Guard troops from the Midwest. Democratic governors in Oregon and Montana have said they wouldn't send troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Guard already has 55 employees helping fight drug trafficking, surveillance in the San Diego Harbor, repairing fences, roads and culverts and analyzing criminal activity in cooperation with state and federal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How had Gov. Brown responded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has personally spoken with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other federal officials, but he hasn't publicly commented or made a decision. His office has instead referred questions to a spokesman for the California National Guard, which has said it needs more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's in contrast to Brown's sharp response last month when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued to block three California laws to protect immigrants who are in the country illegally, which Brown called \"a political stunt.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Guard says it can't respond until it has more information, including who would pay for the deployment, how long it would last and what it is expected to accomplish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's decision might depend on the mission: would California troops be fighting international drug smugglers, or helping block immigrants from crossing the border?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is Gov. Brown keeping his powder dry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He may just be weighing the state's policy and waiting for those answers, says Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney. \"Trump's plan is pretty vague. It's possible at the end that Trump's request is somewhat reasonable,\" Pitney says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In contrast to his 1970s persona as an eccentric, Jerry Brown is actually a pretty cautious warrior and he's probably just weighing the policy merits of this move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there political considerations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, on both sides, says San Jose State University political science professor says Larry Gerston. Trump is appealing to his conservative base, he says, not only on immigration but on issues as broad as gay rights and automobile emissions, all touchstones for California's liberal majority. \"The list goes on and on and on and so the governor from his perspective has to ask himself 'Why? Why should I be interested in cooperating when I'm getting nothing back from the federal government,'\" he said. \"So I do think that policy and politics come together here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does the White House say? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the administration will \"absolutely\" move forward with other border states if California balks at providing National Guard troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're working with states' governors right now to go through this process and we hope to have National Guard on the ground as soon as possible,\" she said Friday. \"And we're going to continue to work with California and we're hopeful that they'll do the right thing and help protect our borders.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It isn't clear how many he would seek from California. They would provide support but not go on patrols or make arrests. Republican governors in the other border states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas backed the deployment. Even Iowa's Republican governor offered to send National Guard troops from the Midwest. Democratic governors in Oregon and Montana have said they wouldn't send troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Guard already has 55 employees helping fight drug trafficking, surveillance in the San Diego Harbor, repairing fences, roads and culverts and analyzing criminal activity in cooperation with state and federal law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How had Gov. Brown responded?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown has personally spoken with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other federal officials, but he hasn't publicly commented or made a decision. His office has instead referred questions to a spokesman for the California National Guard, which has said it needs more details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's in contrast to Brown's sharp response last month when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions sued to block three California laws to protect immigrants who are in the country illegally, which Brown called \"a political stunt.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Guard says it can't respond until it has more information, including who would pay for the deployment, how long it would last and what it is expected to accomplish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's decision might depend on the mission: would California troops be fighting international drug smugglers, or helping block immigrants from crossing the border?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is Gov. Brown keeping his powder dry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He may just be weighing the state's policy and waiting for those answers, says Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney. \"Trump's plan is pretty vague. It's possible at the end that Trump's request is somewhat reasonable,\" Pitney says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In contrast to his 1970s persona as an eccentric, Jerry Brown is actually a pretty cautious warrior and he's probably just weighing the policy merits of this move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there political considerations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, on both sides, says San Jose State University political science professor says Larry Gerston. Trump is appealing to his conservative base, he says, not only on immigration but on issues as broad as gay rights and automobile emissions, all touchstones for California's liberal majority. \"The list goes on and on and on and so the governor from his perspective has to ask himself 'Why? Why should I be interested in cooperating when I'm getting nothing back from the federal government,'\" he said. \"So I do think that policy and politics come together here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What does the White House say? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the administration will \"absolutely\" move forward with other border states if California balks at providing National Guard troops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're working with states' governors right now to go through this process and we hope to have National Guard on the ground as soon as possible,\" she said Friday. \"And we're going to continue to work with California and we're hopeful that they'll do the right thing and help protect our borders.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>In most cases, when an employer pays a signing bonus to attract new workers, that payment is understood to be essentially unrecoverable. But the Pentagon has a different understanding — and it's ordering the California National Guard to claw back thousands of dollars paid to soldiers who re-enlisted to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in many cases, an employer would also have a tough time arguing that decade-old lapses in its own oversight should trigger wage garnishments and tax liens against its workers. But again, this is the U.S. military, and its officials say the law requires them to reclaim the overpayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the gist of a report by \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-national-guard-bonus-20161020-snap-story.html\">the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>, which says nearly 10,000 soldiers are now scrambling to pay back signing bonuses that helped the Pentagon cope with the task of using an all-volunteer service to fight two prolonged international conflicts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to doling out cash for re-enlistment, the Pentagon offered student loan repayments. The incentives were seen as crucial to the military's effort to keep its ranks flush, but auditors say the rules should have limited the largest payments to certain skill areas — and that in the rush to staff the war effort, the bonuses were given out too liberally, the L.A. Times reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We have to change the law to make this right.'\u003ccite>Congressman John Garamendi\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Responding to the newspaper's story Sunday, the California National Guard points out that the repayments are part of a federal program run by the National Guard Bureau and the Department of the Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAGUARD/posts/10154523711193796\">The state military service says\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The California National Guard does not have the authority to unilaterally waive these debts. However, the California National Guard welcomes any law passed by Congress to waive these debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Until that time, our priority is to advocate for our Soldiers through this difficult process.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In its statement, the service adds that its adjutant general, Maj. Gen. David S. Baldwin, created an assistance center that has helped some of its soldiers retain $37 million \"of original bonus payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem of improper use of military troop-level incentives isn't limited to California — but the state has emerged as a focal point because of two factors: the large size of its guard force, and a history of overpayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Valley Congressman John Garamendi, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says he's proposing legislation to change a federal law that would require the soldiers to return the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it is disgusting. These men and women answered the country’s call. They went off to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and many were wounded in many different ways, their lives were disrupted. The signing bonuses were appropriate at the time. And then to go back years later and to say 'well there were some mistakes made by the recruiting officers and therefore we want all the money back' is absolutely unacceptable. And we have to change the law to make this right,\" Garamendi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Garamendi's legislative fix is approved, any service member who accepted a recruiting bonus between 2005 and 2009 would not be required to return any money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A scandal over the California National Guard's use of bonus money was first unearthed in 2010, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/article2573111.html\">the Sacramento Bee reported\u003c/a> that its incentive program had misspent as much as $100 million. The program's onetime leader, former Master Sgt. Toni Jaffe, was later \u003ca href=\"https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/losangeles/press-releases/2012/former-california-national-guard-master-sergeant-sentenced-to-30-months-in-federal-prison-in-15-million-false-claims-case\">sentenced to 30 months in prison\u003c/a>, after pleading guilty to making $15 million in false claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was first discovered, that scandal was deemed \"war profiteering\" and was said to have benefited guard members who hadn't logged any combat duty; high-ranking officers were mentioned. But in the years since, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/article2580422.html\">lower-ranking service members have complained\u003c/a> about garnished checks and a prolonged review process, saying they've done nothing wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the work of 42 auditors who reviewed the California cases now complete, the repayments are back in the spotlight — and service members and veterans, as well as members of the public, have been venting their anger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAGUARD/?hc_ref=SEARCH\">California guard's Facebook page\u003c/a>, several people hijacked a post about training to comment on the bonus repayments, with one man writing, \"The officials who screwed over our service members need to do the right thing and pay back the money. DISGUSTING.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after the guard responded to the Times story Monday, a commenter criticized its stance, writing, \"Meanwhile vets are suffering while one bureaucracy waits to 'welcome' another bureaucracy to take responsibility and force it to do the right thing. Pathetic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revelations about fraud and mismanagement in the Pentagon's retention program emerged after the program's budget swelled between 2000 and 2008 — when the Defense Department went from spending $891 million for selective re-enlistment bonuses to spending $1.4 billion on them, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monographs/2010/RAND_MG950.pdf\">a 2010 research paper by the RAND defense institute\u003c/a>. By the end of that period, the military was also spending $625 million yearly to pay enlistment bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual for signing bonuses to have strings attached. But in the civilian world, conditions for repayment are often limited to cases where an employee spends less than a year in their new job. In the case of the California National Guard, soldiers who say they held up their end of the contract — serving the required three- or six-year re-enlistment period — are being told to repay a key incentive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Robert Richmond, who has \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/supreme-court-stop-army-from-taking-back-signing-bonuses-10-years-later-after-vets-completed-contracts\">begun an online petition\u003c/a> that calls for the Army to \"stop stealing back signing bonuses 10 years later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond says he signed the contract in good faith, and in his petition, he describes a scenario that's reminiscent of the recent Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal, saying that a lower-ranking figure has been punished for committing fraud that was motivated at least in part by a need to meet targets set by her superiors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond also appears in the L.A. Times story; here's a sample from his petition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like many other soldiers, I honorably completed my contract in 2012 and two years later they sent me a letter stating I had to pay the money back. Each contract has a different excuse. They stated the reason I was not eligible for the contract was because I had over 20 years of service at the time. I had originally signed up more than 20 years prior, but had breaks in service and only had 15 credible years of service, not 20. Although at the time, they informed me I was eligible for a bonus, now they are saying I was not.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Like other veterans who are refusing to pay up, Richmond is now incurring interest on the repayment amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its General Rules about the recovery of pay and bonuses, \u003ca href=\"http://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Recoupment/Rules.aspx\">the Department of Defense states\u003c/a>, \"As a general rule, repayment will not be sought if the member's inability to fulfill the eligibility requirements is due to circumstances determined reasonably beyond the member's control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after dozens of auditors reviewed its system that had paid soldiers bonuses without determining their eligibility, the California National Guard's veterans started getting repayment notices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People like me just got screwed,\" a 42-year-old veteran tells the Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That veteran, former Army Capt. Christopher Van Meter, fought in Iraq. He tells the newspaper he refinanced his mortgage to repay $25,000 in re-enlistment bonuses and $21,000 in student loan repayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another veteran — former Army Master Sgt. Susan Haley, who served in Afghanistan and spent more than 25 years in the service — tells the newspaper that she's now sending the Pentagon $650 each month to repay $20,500 in bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel totally betrayed,\" Haley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put those dollar figures in perspective, we can look at \u003ca href=\"http://army.com/sites/army.com/files/r601_280.pdf\">the Army's payment and retention policy\u003c/a> — specifically, a summary of its Selective Reenlistment Bonus program that was laid out early in 2006:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The objective of the SRB program is to increase the number of reenlistments in critical MOSs [Military Occupational Specialty] that do not have adequate retention levels to man the career force. Although Department of Defense policy permits SRB payments of up to $45,000.00, soldiers may be paid bonuses up to six times their monthly basic pay at discharge, times the number of years of additional obligated service, or $20,000.00, whichever is less.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While some veterans are working to repay the money, others are filing appeals, engaging in what's likely to be a prolonged fight against the service to which they once belonged. California National Guard officials tell the Times that they've been helping veterans through the appeals process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We'd be more than happy to absolve these people of their debts,\" Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, deputy commander of the California National Guard, tells the Times. \"We just can't do it.

But the Pentagon has a different understanding — and it's ordering the California National Guard to claw back thousands of dollars paid to soldiers who re-enlisted to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in many cases, an employer would also have a tough time arguing that decade-old lapses in its own oversight should trigger wage garnishments and tax liens against its workers. But again, this is the U.S. military, and its officials say the law requires them to reclaim the overpayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the gist of a report by \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-national-guard-bonus-20161020-snap-story.html\">the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>, which says nearly 10,000 soldiers are now scrambling to pay back signing bonuses that helped the Pentagon cope with the task of using an all-volunteer service to fight two prolonged international conflicts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to doling out cash for re-enlistment, the Pentagon offered student loan repayments. The incentives were seen as crucial to the military's effort to keep its ranks flush, but auditors say the rules should have limited the largest payments to certain skill areas — and that in the rush to staff the war effort, the bonuses were given out too liberally, the L.A. Times reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We have to change the law to make this right.'\u003ccite>Congressman John Garamendi\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Responding to the newspaper's story Sunday, the California National Guard points out that the repayments are part of a federal program run by the National Guard Bureau and the Department of the Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

However, the California National Guard welcomes any law passed by Congress to waive these debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Until that time, our priority is to advocate for our Soldiers through this difficult process.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In its statement, the service adds that its adjutant general, Maj. Gen. David S. Baldwin, created an assistance center that has helped some of its soldiers retain $37 million \"of original bonus payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem of improper use of military troop-level incentives isn't limited to California — but the state has emerged as a focal point because of two factors: the large size of its guard force, and a history of overpayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sacramento Valley Congressman John Garamendi, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says he's proposing legislation to change a federal law that would require the soldiers to return the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it is disgusting. These men and women answered the country’s call. They went off to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and many were wounded in many different ways, their lives were disrupted. The signing bonuses were appropriate at the time. And then to go back years later and to say 'well there were some mistakes made by the recruiting officers and therefore we want all the money back' is absolutely unacceptable. And we have to change the law to make this right,\" Garamendi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Garamendi's legislative fix is approved, any service member who accepted a recruiting bonus between 2005 and 2009 would not be required to return any money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A scandal over the California National Guard's use of bonus money was first unearthed in 2010, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/article2573111.html\">the Sacramento Bee reported\u003c/a> that its incentive program had misspent as much as $100 million. The program's onetime leader, former Master Sgt. Toni Jaffe, was later \u003ca href=\"https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/losangeles/press-releases/2012/former-california-national-guard-master-sergeant-sentenced-to-30-months-in-federal-prison-in-15-million-false-claims-case\">sentenced to 30 months in prison\u003c/a>, after pleading guilty to making $15 million in false claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was first discovered, that scandal was deemed \"war profiteering\" and was said to have benefited guard members who hadn't logged any combat duty; high-ranking officers were mentioned. But in the years since, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/article2580422.html\">lower-ranking service members have complained\u003c/a> about garnished checks and a prolonged review process, saying they've done nothing wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the work of 42 auditors who reviewed the California cases now complete, the repayments are back in the spotlight — and service members and veterans, as well as members of the public, have been venting their anger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAGUARD/?hc_ref=SEARCH\">California guard's Facebook page\u003c/a>, several people hijacked a post about training to comment on the bonus repayments, with one man writing, \"The officials who screwed over our service members need to do the right thing and pay back the money. DISGUSTING.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after the guard responded to the Times story Monday, a commenter criticized its stance, writing, \"Meanwhile vets are suffering while one bureaucracy waits to 'welcome' another bureaucracy to take responsibility and force it to do the right thing. Pathetic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revelations about fraud and mismanagement in the Pentagon's retention program emerged after the program's budget swelled between 2000 and 2008 — when the Defense Department went from spending $891 million for selective re-enlistment bonuses to spending $1.4 billion on them, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monographs/2010/RAND_MG950.pdf\">a 2010 research paper by the RAND defense institute\u003c/a>. By the end of that period, the military was also spending $625 million yearly to pay enlistment bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not unusual for signing bonuses to have strings attached. But in the civilian world, conditions for repayment are often limited to cases where an employee spends less than a year in their new job. In the case of the California National Guard, soldiers who say they held up their end of the contract — serving the required three- or six-year re-enlistment period — are being told to repay a key incentive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of them is Robert Richmond, who has \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/supreme-court-stop-army-from-taking-back-signing-bonuses-10-years-later-after-vets-completed-contracts\">begun an online petition\u003c/a> that calls for the Army to \"stop stealing back signing bonuses 10 years later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond says he signed the contract in good faith, and in his petition, he describes a scenario that's reminiscent of the recent Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal, saying that a lower-ranking figure has been punished for committing fraud that was motivated at least in part by a need to meet targets set by her superiors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richmond also appears in the L.A. Times story; here's a sample from his petition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like many other soldiers, I honorably completed my contract in 2012 and two years later they sent me a letter stating I had to pay the money back. Each contract has a different excuse. They stated the reason I was not eligible for the contract was because I had over 20 years of service at the time. I had originally signed up more than 20 years prior, but had breaks in service and only had 15 credible years of service, not 20. Although at the time, they informed me I was eligible for a bonus, now they are saying I was not.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Like other veterans who are refusing to pay up, Richmond is now incurring interest on the repayment amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its General Rules about the recovery of pay and bonuses, \u003ca href=\"http://militarypay.defense.gov/Pay/Recoupment/Rules.aspx\">the Department of Defense states\u003c/a>, \"As a general rule, repayment will not be sought if the member's inability to fulfill the eligibility requirements is due to circumstances determined reasonably beyond the member's control.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after dozens of auditors reviewed its system that had paid soldiers bonuses without determining their eligibility, the California National Guard's veterans started getting repayment notices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People like me just got screwed,\" a 42-year-old veteran tells the Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That veteran, former Army Capt. Christopher Van Meter, fought in Iraq. He tells the newspaper he refinanced his mortgage to repay $25,000 in re-enlistment bonuses and $21,000 in student loan repayments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another veteran — former Army Master Sgt. Susan Haley, who served in Afghanistan and spent more than 25 years in the service — tells the newspaper that she's now sending the Pentagon $650 each month to repay $20,500 in bonuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel totally betrayed,\" Haley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To put those dollar figures in perspective, we can look at \u003ca href=\"http://army.com/sites/army.com/files/r601_280.pdf\">the Army's payment and retention policy\u003c/a> — specifically, a summary of its Selective Reenlistment Bonus program that was laid out early in 2006:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The objective of the SRB program is to increase the number of reenlistments in critical MOSs [Military Occupational Specialty] that do not have adequate retention levels to man the career force. Although Department of Defense policy permits SRB payments of up to $45,000.00, soldiers may be paid bonuses up to six times their monthly basic pay at discharge, times the number of years of additional obligated service, or $20,000.00, whichever is less.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While some veterans are working to repay the money, others are filing appeals, engaging in what's likely to be a prolonged fight against the service to which they once belonged. California National Guard officials tell the Times that they've been helping veterans through the appeals process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We'd be more than happy to absolve these people of their debts,\" Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, deputy commander of the California National Guard, tells the Times. \"We just can't do it. We'd be breaking the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
