The kid will just have to wait. Obama gonna shake the money tree for him.
Obama won’t have to shake the tree for him if he gets POW status, here is part of what he gets:
Captive or POW Pay and Allowance Entitlements: Soldiers are entitled to all pay and allowances that were authorized prior to the POW period. Soldiers who are in a POW status are authorized payment of 50% of the worldwide average per diem rate for each day held in captive status. The Secretary of Defense may authorize more than 50% of the worldwide average per diem rate requested by the Secretary of the Army.
The 50% of the worldwide per diem rate, by itself could be over $200 K.
