Regardless of rank, military division, overseas or stateside duty?  However 
about funeral expenses, assistance in the planning etc?  Are the bodies still 
escourted home by military?  I was sure my son had life insurance in the early 
90s.  
Doesn't compare to the 9/11 victims which I could not believe the 
compensation the families rcd there.  If the victims died on the way to work by a bolt of 
lighting or drove their car into a wall, what would the payout be?  How can 
the government be responsible for such a catastrophe?   Yet they take minimum 
responsibility for their employees (military)?
