[Vision2020] Combat Fatalities? A new and improved no-hookers plan

[My Two and a Half Cents]

If I were a spouse of a soldier who was wounded in Iraq, then flown to Germany 
where (s)he died as a direct result of the wounds incurred in combat, then told 
that I am not entitled to some MAJOR survivor benefits because my spouse did 
not die as a result of hostile action, I might be a little upset.  I might 
consider talking to that radical left-wing media that Pat Kraut is always 
talking about.  I might even consider putting Greg Dickison on retainer and sue 
the US Government.  Now, there is a case that even he couldn't lose.
