This is not about the numbers. Even if the numbers are skewed......

This is a link to the Current salaries that are paid to the Military. You figure they are working 70 -80 hours a week over there.....You don't start making Minimum wage until you hit like E-6......thats sad.


and if we factor in insurance to the 911 victims why is the military insurance so sucky.

Thumbs down regardless of "his" numbers

we all know that the minimum wage is so far off track its sickening.

When a serviceman looses his life in combat serving his country he shouldn't have to worry about his family's welfare as he is just moments away from death.

i was reading yesterday about the iranians gathering to join hezbola to fight in the war...some as old as 72....

they first prayed and praised those responsible for blowing up 241
members of our military within their own barracks as hero's ...

...and so, i dont see the difference at all as it was terrorist related
when compared to the 9-11 compensation for lives lost.

the fact that the people in the two towers were civilians should mean that their family should recieve less money than our military personell.

Thanks Mike, like you say,he nailed that one. My gripe is the amount of money and perks our Congressman recieve to decide who will get OUR tax money, so that they can get re elected to vote themselves more perks, and another pay raise.

Where are all the Stateman who are willing to put our country ahead of themselves getting re elected? Move on ,you won't see 'em here.
