I predict no soldier will be allowed to receive this money. "They were just doing their job, sir."

He could always wait and give it to the soldier on discharge from the Army.

I agree that soldiers should (unfortunately) be ineligible for the $25 million US Government reward, because the US Government cannot be offering incentives to soldiers which could potentially interfere with command discipline and unit cohesion...

...but unless I am mistaken, I'm not certain that there's any code in the UCMJ which would prevent a soldier from accepting a private check drafted on a private bank issued by a private citizen.... even for service in the line of duty.

"Hey, buddy... here's a million bucks for shooting that Nazi General."

"But I was just doing my job, sir."

"Didn't say you weren't, son. Here's the million."

I'm not sure how the Military Prosecutor could charge any crime in such a case.

Maybe they'll vote to use it to set up a college fund for the orphans of soldiers who've died in combat. Of course, they should stipulate that it's only for private colleges that aren't hard left.

Then give it to the USO, or Intrepid Fund, or something of the sort!
