And I know of other programs that offered bonuses (for those already in the Army, in this case) to volunteer for certain programs. These folks (in the article) took it to the next level and gamed the system like nobody's business. And it looks like they'll get away with it. Classic.

It appears so. <br /><br />Was it moral? I don't think so!

I'm not personally aware of any program that lists the names of recruits in a public forum. I despise thieves and those that game a system for monetary gain of tax payer money deserve time in hard labor penitentiaries.

Did rent break any laws? Or are we just angry that they took advantage of a foiled system like senators and congressmen always do.
