What do you mean, "I didn't pay my debts." I was in war fighting and I come back, to be asked to pay debts when I haven't even gotten payed for fighting!
We don't have the money to pay you for fighting because I and congress cannot force the states to pay!
How did this even happen?
Soldiers who came back from war we're expecting to be paid..But instead they were told they had to pay debts, and congress did not have the money to pay them...
A few years pass by...
