Military promotions ARE done posthumously.
Stop trying to smash down any opposition to this vile practice of screwing over the taxpayers through emoting about a higher price.
Yeah God forbid I should mention the officers and the "higher price" they paid.
Unbelievable.
I agree with poster. You can have a set policy that says if this happen x happens. But to do it adhoc is basically making the politician look good at the expense of taxpayer.
And cops gets paid higher with benefits already for the threats they endure!
