Re: The Iraq War - Chapter 2
The Pentagon has decided that the life of one of our troops who is killed in Iraq or Aghanistan is worth a one-time payment of $100,000 in 2006, up from the current $12,240 tax free "death gratuity".
I'm sure that'll make the families of the 1,400+ troops already killed feel like their loved ones' lives were worth a whole lot less at the time of their deaths than they will be to any troops killed in 2006, after which time, we hope all our troops will be out of harm's way in Iraq anyway.
Geeze. Talk about not caring about human life...
