Military Death benefits should be the standard on which any other compensation is measured. I don't, by the way, see the need for government compensation for WTC victims unless they're military personnel in any event.
Do the military personnel who died in the Pentagon (and maybe WTC) qualify for these huge payouts? Or are they limited to the usual military death benefits?
If yes, why should they get big bucks while the grunts killed in Afghanistan get so little?
If not, why are they being treated differently from other civilian victims just because they were serving their country in the military?
