As Americans prepare to honor fallen soldiers this Memorial Day, one former Oregon National Guard member is wondering why he's being charged more than $3,000 for military gear that was lost after he was shot.
Gary Pfleider, a six-year veteran of the Guard, received a Purple Heart after he was shot by a sniper in Iraq. Some time later, he received a somewhat less gratifying award: A bill for $3,175 for military equipment that was lost when he was shipped out of Iraq for medical treatment.

Next think you know, they'll be charging soldiers for the ammo they expend shooting at the "enemy". It's the bottom line that counts, Chimp.
Dear Sgt. Smith: Enclosed is a bill for $2 Million Dollars for the tank you allowed to be destroyed during your military service in Iraq. Please remit $20,000 per week until your debt is paid-off.
