Increase death benefits for fallen U.S. soldiers

The military in Afghanistan and Iraq claims it takes $1 million to field each serviceman for duty, however the cash benefits to survivors of troops who die in the war s zones -- in only $100,000. It costs 10 times as much to equip a soldier to die, than upon death, to provide for surviving family members. Time to raise this death benefit!

Why should they since the dead troops can't vote and that is all these sleazes care about. The vote is what they want so they give money to all the takers.
Another shame is the help they give to Wounded Warriors. These are treated worse that Illegal Immigrants.
