How many of these survivors have offered to help out the wives and children of dead Marines and Grunts whose only compensation was 10 grand and a knock on the door from by one of their fellow warriors?

I thought soldiers' families who died in wartime got 250,000 grand, but I could be wrong -- anybody know what the answer is? Anyhow, your point is well-taken -- these victims have been compensated a heck of a lot more than military families ever have been, yet they're still so bitter. And they're bitter at the wrong people, too -- nobody could blame them if they were bitter at Osama bin Laden, but instead, they blame Bush!

The 250,000 is a life insurance policy paid for by soldiers. The 12 grand is the compensation from the government. It used to be 6 pre Bush.

COmpared to the millions the government is giving to the family of 9/11 victims it is piss.
