Soldier Forced To Pay For Body Armor To Be Repaid

[rsmith6621]

First Lt. William "Eddie" Rebrook IV, 25, had to leave the Army with a shrapnel injury to his arm. But before he could be discharged last week, he says he had to scrounge up cash from his buddies to pay $632 for the body armor and other gear he had lost.

2. What's next paying for bullets?

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Hey how come our freeper friends didn't scrounge up the dough to pay for the armor?

It'd look good on a yellow ribbon car magnet.

5. Well you know a yellow ribbon is easier than enlisting.

Or making a care package or paying for phone cards.
