While that is true enough, there are certainly those higher up who should know that the families of those military members KIA are allowed certain benefits. Why should a fact like that be so difficult to know? It is n small deal.
In fact there were similar excuses after Benghazi, which is why only experienced people should be elected and appointed to higher office. Not too much should be expected from Community Organizers.
And the vast majority believe that this benefit is the SGLI. They believe, as do many servicemembers, that the military will take care of all the arrangements and transportation for the funeral and their family members. No one really even knew about this extra death benefit, particularly not the amount, til now when it came up, unless they were a recipient of that death benefit, which for the overall population, is a very small percentage of the people.
And why is it that the Congressmen did not know about the death benefits and realize that it would not be covered by the bill they wrote? Do all those in Congress not have the proper experience to be there either?
