How do you separate death benefits from all other veterans benefits?
And executive order isn't a magic wand.

Spence, since you demanded proof from me, allow me to retort. Where is your evidence that every Executive Order needs to be as vital to national interests as the one I posted? Obama has signed many Executive Orders, with varying degrees of importance. You can gtoogle it, I'm sure.
"How do you separate death benefits from all other veterans benefits?"
I don't know. I don't know what other veterans benbefits were cut. But I know it's inhumane to deny those benefits at a time when your Dear Leader is taking record amounts of tax revenue from the citizenry, and he uses large chunks of that to go on the most expensive vacations imaginable. Priorities, I guess...
Maybe if you had chosen to serve in the military during a timne of war, you'd have a small grasp of the level of betrayal that represents.
"And executive order isn't a magic wand."
It is if it's legal. And NO ONE would have challenged an executive order that reinstated those payments. No one. Very, very few people are capable of such a total lack of empathy. And the vast majority who are capable of it, are on your side. Kudos.
