Better Not Get Hurt if You're Serving in the US Army

I saw this referenced on another blog that I read, and it seemed so ridiculous, I wanted to relay it here:

Army specialist Tyson Johnson of Mobile, Ala., had just been promoted in a field
ceremony in Iraq when a mortar round exploded outside his tent, almost killing
him.
"It took my kidney, my left kidney, shrapnel came in through my head,
back of my head," he recounted.
His injuries forced him out of the military,
and the Army demanded he repay an enlistment bonus of $2,700 because he'd only
served two-thirds of his three-year tour.
When he couldn't pay, Johnson's
account was turned over to bill collectors. He ended up living out of his car
when the Army reported him to credit agencies as having bad debts, making it
impossible for him to rent an apartment.
"Oh, man, I felt betrayed," Johnson
said. "I felt like, oh, my heart dropped."
