In a way, I support this. I remember how many Colonels and Generals would time their visits to the troops...arriving on the last day of the month, and departing on the first of the next month. 36 hours in theater, and in return they got 2 months combat pay and two months tax exemption.

However, I’d feel better about it if they would also increase the combat pay to say...$20/day. Most real combat troops would get a raise, while the high-up strap hangers would get much less.
