Pentagon May Raise Military Death Pay

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) will propose that families of U.S. troops killed in Iraq (news - web sites), Afghanistan (news - web sites) and war zones of the future receive an extra $250,000 in government payments

The plan, which includes retroactive payments to the spouses or surviving relatives of the more than 1,500 who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan since October 2001, will be part of the 2006 budget proposal submitted to Congress next week, the Pentagon (news - web sites)'s personnel chief said.

A tax-free "death gratuity," now $12,420, would grow to $100,000. The government would also pay for $150,000 in life insurance for troops. Veterans groups and many in Congress have been pushing for such increases.

..."death tax GRATUITY"? Is that like a tip? Jesus Christ...we´re creating a rolling, profitable death machine....and they called the Assyrians bloody!

America should just stop kidding around and privatize the military.
