The families of US soldiers who have died in the US-Israeli war against Iran are battling to ensure they receive appropriate pay and benefits for their loved ones.
Libby Klinner, a widow, wrote on social media that the US air force had deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following the death of Major Alex Klinner, her 33-year-old husband, because Congress had not officially declared war.
He was one of six crew members of a KC-135 refuelling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq in March while supporting US strikes against Iran.
please stop joining the military
Deserved.
If it’s not officially a war, what happens if a combatant chooses not to engage?
I suspect they’d be court martialled as if it were refusing a wartime order.

Scum of the earth may his family be deprived of all benefits.
So are they going to rename the Department of Defense again?!
I can’t fucking believe this. Well, i can because 🍊☝️
First time I’ve seen that emoji used for “fuckhead”.
An ex-convict gave horrific insight into serving in the Russian army, saying his officers refused to collect the dead bodies of soldiers from the battlefield so that the Russian military wouldn’t have to pay their families, according to The New York Times.
In an interview, the soldier who served in one of the Russian Ministry of Defense’s convict units — who was identified as “Aleksandr” — told the Times he was ordered not to collect the bodies of his fellow troops.
He told the Times that officers could register the men as “missing in action,” meaning their families couldn’t collect compensation for them being killed in battle.
One shitty dictator starting a completely unwarranted war doing the same thing as another shitty dictator running a completely unwarranted war.
Might not be a coincidence.
Give Putin some credit. He’s doing this much more intelligently. He maintains a plausible pretense to not pay out death benefits while Trump just goes “No”.
… That might be the excuse they’re using.
The reality is that they don’t have the money because they spent it on bombing schools for young girls.
fuckers need to fuck right off to the fuckerville composting center.
I think you are on point here.
Congress can basically make “non wars” into wars for benefits.
OEF and OIF cover post 9/11 up to like 2010 in most of the middle east.
It could be fixed right now, but trump and the Republicans won’t.
But the real solution has always been giving everyone the benefits disabled vets get
they don’t even have the money for payroll right now.
So no, they really can’t fix it overnight.
Fuck this whole administration. Male them fight for themselves
