Alabama Senator Wants to Increase Death Benefits For Soldiers

A nice Senator from Alabama, Jeff Sessions, wants to increase the "death gratuity" paid to dead soldiers' families from $12,400 to $100,000. And he also wants to increase the maximum life insurance benefit to $400,000 from $250,000. I think that's really nice of him because it's really sad when someone in your family dies in a war, especially if it's a stupid war and we don't even know why we are fighting it.

See, not all Republicans are bad.
