Not only does our government want soldiers to risk their lives but to also pay for the privledge. Any additional insurance cost should be met by government. Diggers told to buy own insurance before Afghanistan | The Courier-Mail
Just yesterday I was checking an Insurance list for WW1 soldiers ... so they had to pay for themselves then too John !! :headhurt: I must say it took me by surprise ... I'd never have thought about it !!
In WW2. We the Americans were issued a $10,000.00 insurance policy. It was paid by our Government. After the Presidential election, the Obama administration tried to push a bill through requiring each combat wounded soldier to pay for his medical care from his private insurance.. There was a huge outcry and the bill was withdrawn.. ( THIS IS A FACT)
