Pentagon....Not paying for Funeral?

I would think that they have life insurance that could pay for their funerals and I know that that money can take a while to get to you but you also should be able to make arrangements. I think it is so sad that people are depending on the Government to bury there love ones. This is truly an eye opener for me. Save save save.

You have never served...eh? The Govt made a promise to those soldiers that they would take care of their families......

Refusing to pay for a wife and kids to see their dad being taken off a plane is SICK!

A wife or loved one should not have to beg an insurance company for money to get to a funeral or have a funeral They served US so we could be free!

So I hear the Pentagon officials or our president is not paying for our fallen soldiers funeral? Not paying for the family members to be in Maryland to see them?

Oliver North stated on TV last night that it only takes a stroke of the pen from the Commander in Chief in an emergency order to get this done...

I am actually sick over this....

I believe they are paying for them now, just not during the "retarded" shut down.

The link below is dated October 9 but will give you some info on how this was handled. Apparently, it went smoother than you might have been fearing.
