BACK DURING THE IRAQ
WAR THE PENTAGON WAS DESTINED
[3]
DESPERATELY TRYING TO RECORD
MORE PEOPLE SO THEY WERE GIVING
[6]
OUT SIGNING BONUSES.
[8]
WELL, THEY
COULDN'T GET ENOUGH PEOPLE SO
[10]
THEY STARTED HANDING OUT MORE
SIGNING BOASTED BONUSES AND WAYS
[12]
THEY SHOULDN'T OF BEEN.
[13]
NOW WE
KNOW THAT IT TURNS OUT THEY MADE
[15]
A MISTAKE.
[16]
THE PENTAGON IS
SEEKING TO RECOUP THEY EXPLAIN
[20]
ABOUT $20 MILLION THIS IS
RECRUITERS ERRONEOUSLY PAID TO
[24]
MORE THAN 10,000 SOLDIERS IN
2006 AND 2007.
[26]
IN AN EFFORT TO
[27]
ROOT MEET THEIR RECRUITING GOALS
AND THE WORDS IN IRAQ AND
[33]
AFGHANISTAN.
[34]
WAIT A MINUTE,
THEY PAID OUT $20 MILLION IN
[37]
SIGNING BONUSES ABOVE WHAT THEY
WERE SUPPOSED TO BUT THE
[42]
SOLDIERS GOT IT THAT THE
PENTAGON WASTE BILLIONS OF
[45]
DOLLARS.
[46]
THEY DO THESE PLANES
AND EVERYTHING GET OFF THE
[47]
GROUND.
[48]
THAT COST THEM BILLIONS
UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT
[51]
BUT I WENT TO DEFENSE
CONTRACTORS THAT DID THEY TRY TO
[53]
GET THAT MONEY BACK?
[54]
NOPE.
[55]
BILLIONS FLUSHED DOWN THE
[57]
TOILET.
[58]
THERE IS SO MUCH WASTE
THAT THE PENTAGON THAT IT COULD
[62]
TOTAL IN THE TRILLIONS.
[65]
THERE'S
THE HORRIFIC WASTE THE WAR IN
[71]
THE FIRST PLACE.
[72]
THE IRAQ WAR
COST US AT LEAST ONE AND A HALF
[75]
TRILLION DOLLARS.
[76]
THE AMERICAN
TAXPAYERS ARE NOT GOING TO GET
[78]
THAT MONEY BACK.
[80]
ALL THAT MONEY
WENT TO THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY AND
[82]
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET RICH OFF
THIS WAR.
[85]
IN THE MIDST OF THOSE
[86]
BILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, YOU OVERSPENT 20
[89]
MILLION BUT AT LEAST WENT TO THE
TROOPS SO IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A
[92]
DEAL.
[93]
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
DOING?
[94]
THEY ARE SAYING NO, WE
[95]
ARE GOING TO GO TO THE TROOPS
AND WE ARE GOING TO BASICALLY
[99]
WAGE A FINANCIAL WAR ON THEM TO
TRY TO GET THAT MONEY BACK.
[103]
OVER CHRIST'S SAKE.
[106]
THE BONUSES
WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LIMITED TO
[108]
SOLDIERS IN HIGH DEMAND
ASSIGNMENTS BUT FEDERAL
[111]
INVESTIGATORS SAW THAT THEY
OFFER THEM MORE LIBERALLY.
[118]
SOLDIERS WHO WERE ERRONEOUSLY
RECEIVED SUCH BONUSES ARE NOW
[122]
BEING PURSUED BY DECK LECTURES,
CHARGE INTEREST ON THE DEBT AND
[127]
THREATENED WITH WAGE GARNISHMENT
AND OTHER ACTIONS ARE YOU
[133]
KIDDING ME?
[136]
THE GUYS DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW THEY WERE GETTING A BONUS
[139]
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET.
[140]
IT
WAS A MISTAKE ON THE PART OF THE
[141]
PENTAGON AND THE RECORDERS.
[142]
THE
GUYS GOT THE BONUS NEVER KNEW HE
[144]

[167]
LAYUP.
[168]
EVERYONE SHOULD AGREE
WITH THIS BUT EVEN DARRELL ISA

[175]
CLAWBACK BONUSES ARE MORAL AND
EXTREMELY TROUBLING DIE COULDN'T
[179]

[181]
RIGHT NOW THOUGH
THE PENTAGON IS STILL STICKING
[183]
BY ACCORDING TO THE HILL.
[185]
THERE
WILL BE NO BLANKET DEBT WAIVER
[187]
FOR THE SOLDIERS SAID DAVIS FOR
THE PENTAGON ADDING THAT
[191]
PENTAGON LEADERS ARE LOOKING AT
HOW TO ASSIST SOLDIERS FILING
[194]
WAIVERS INDIVIDUALLY.
[199]

[246]
PURSUE GUYS WHO NEVER DID
ANYTHING WRONG IN THE FIRST
[248]
PLACE AND RISKED THEIR LIVES FOR THIS
COUNTRY AND FOR YOUR STUPID WAR.
[251]

[254]
I WANT ALL THE MONEY BACK
[255]
FROM THE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS
THAT ALL THE PLANTS IT NEVER
[257]
WORKED LET ALONE ALL THE MONEY
THAT WE EVER WASTED IN THE
[260]
PENTAGON.
[261]
OKAY DEFENSE
INDUSTRY, I WOULD LIKE OUR
[263]
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BACK, BUT WE
ARE NOT CANASTA THAT BACK,
[266]
RIGHT?
[267]
THE SAME POLITICIANS ARE
BOUGHT BY THOSE CONTRACTORS.
[271]
THEY RECEIVE LEGAL BRIBES EVERY
DAY CALLED CAMPAIGN DONATIONS
[276]
AND INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURES AND
SUPER PAC MONEY.
[279]
WE NEVER ASK
[280]
FOR MONEY BACK THAT WE ACTUALLY
SHOULD GET BACK BUT WHEN IT'S
[283]
YOU AND YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR
THIS COUNTRY AND FOR THIS STUPID
[287]
WAR THAT THEY SING INTO THAT
THEY SIT AND HAVE SENT YOU TO
[290]
ANY OF NO POWER, YOU HAVE NO
LOBBYIST AND YOU ARE NOT A GIANT
[295]
DONOR, WELL, THEY'RE GOING TO
COME TO GET YOU AND THEY'RE
[299]
GOING TO TRY TO CRUSH YOU AGAIN
EVERY NICKEL BACK.
[302]
THIS IS WHAT
[303]
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SICK OF.
[305]
I HATE IT WHEN THE REPUBLICANS
[307]
DO IT, BUT IN THE SCOPE OF THE
PENTAGON BUDGET, YOU ARE GOING
[314]
TO TRY TO RUN THOSE GUYS LIVES
FOR IT, HELL NO.
[319]
LOOK, THIS IS
[321]
WHY WE DO THE SHOW, SO WE CAN
PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON ISSUES LIKE
[324]
THIS.
[325]
HERE'S MY PREDICTION ON
THIS ISSUE NOT JUST US BUT FOR
[328]
EVERY MEDIA ORGANIZATION THAT
COVERS THIS IT WILL FINALLY
[332]
GET ENOUGH EMBARRASSMENT THAT
THE PENTAGON WILL BACK DOWN AND
[335]
WILL AT LEAST HELP THOSE TROOPS
A LITTLE BIT SO THEY WON'T HAVE
[339]
TO FIND MONEY THAT THEY NO
LONGER HAVE AND RUIN THEIR LIVES
[343]
OVER AND TAKE THEIR CURRENT
WAGES AND GIVE IT TO THE
[347]
GOVERNMENT FOR THE PENTAGON.
[349]
WE WENT UP AND INTO IT.
[352]
LET'S
[353]
ALL WORK TOGETHER, REPUBLICANS,
DEMOCRATS LIBERALS CONSERVATIVES
[355]
INDEPENDENTS, DOESN'T MATTER.
[357]
THIS CANNOT STAND.
