Bonuses Up To $150K Offered To Vets

Now where is this money going to be coming from I ask?

DENVER -- The Army, which has already given hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses to recruit soldiers and get veterans to re-enlist, will be offering incentives of up to $150,000 to senior special forces members nearing retirement.
Karen Linne, spokeswoman for Fort Carson, said the bonuses are being offered Army-wide, and that bonuses have traditionally been used to try to keep skilled people beyond their retirement dates.
Veterans of other groups also are being offered thousands of dollars to re-enlist, based on their skill and length of service. The so-called "enhanced selective re-enlistment bonus" program offers $1,500 to $33,000, according to a list published in Army Times.
The Army has several programs aimed at competing with Blackwater and other companies who provide security, often ex-soldiers, but at much higher pay than the Army can offer.
