a million bucks?
They continue to die, 1000 so far, how much are they worth? We as a nation are 422 billion in the hole. I think each famly of the dead should get $1,000,000 tax free. Then we'd be 423 billion in the hole. Whats another billion? steve 83sd

Men and women who die for their country should not do so in order to win the lottery. Its a nice sentiment, but there is no higher duty all people who live in a democracy must perform if called upon in some way, and it is beyond money. I was not in favor of passing out millions to the 911 families either, again it was a highly motivated act by good people, but war is war.

This is as bone-headed a statement as I have ever seen. Soldiers, sailors and airmen dont do it for the money, most serve because they believe in something greater than themselves. Your premise is an insult to every person who died fighting for this country. |

narwal, I am not saying you are confused, I'm saying I'm confused as to how to see that the vets chrildren get what they need to have a normal life. It costs about a million to raise a child today thru collage. Some of these guys left two or three or four children. What are they going to live on "vets benefits". That won't take them very far. We ask them to serve for our country, their famliys should be taken car of by us. Our goverment. steve 83sd

I've heard of this thing called life insurance...
Can servicemen and women obtain life insurance? Does life insurance cover overseas deployments? Is military service a disqualifying condition? Interesting question. |
