NYPD Says Iraq Vets Owe Money!

[AGENDA21]

(CBS) ROCKY POINT He proudly displays the flag outside his new home in Rocky Point, Long Island. But right now Officer Duane Johnson is wondering how he's going to pay for it.

“It says: Welcome Home Soldier, so grateful that you served...You owe 5,319 dollars within 30 days.”

The welcome home letter, which Duane recently received, is from the NYPD. Duane was a city cop from 1997 to 2003.

During that time he was called to active duty out, of the 106 Air National Guard, Westhampton, and deployed overseas in 2002.

2. To returning vets: Thanks for your sacrifice, and, oh yeah,

fuck you... :eyes:
