[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1008106, member: 52972"] Hugh, I was surprised that the cost of transporting a soldier killed in action, from their duty station back to the USA was to be paid by the Family of the deceased soldier??? The military sent him there and they should pick up all the cost associated with returning him to the USA for burial. This must be something new since I retired from the military in 1983. Congressional Republicans claim that these expenses should be paid under their recent Military pay bill that insures that all military will be paid all military pay and allowances....They are going to further clarify this with a new bill today that specifically addresses military members killed in the line of duty that their families will receive the $100K payment for expenses incurred by the members death. It appears to me that the Obama Administration is shutting down the government in such a manner to inflict the most pain on the military just to gain political support for his squandering of taxpayers money. This needs to be stopped immediately. I also support the Republican Congress in trying to limit Obama's spending while approving the continued spending and support for our military and civilians. Obama just wants and all or nothing deal which he will never get!! ...Rich [/QUOTE]
