...right. Right now, we see a good effort but not good implementation. Make sure payments are fair, make sure they're uniform from one family to another, make sure they're immediate following the bombs and bullets and make sure this is true whenever U.S. troops head into combat - that's how you properly dignify deaths and injuries. Anything less diminishes the impact and cheapens the good intentions."
