How much money did families of victims of Sep. 11 get, that's assuming they got any at all? I remember hearing about families getting a large amount because of their tragic loss. I was just thinking, why would they get so much money for this, unless they had life insurance of course. Comparing it to what the American soldier gets is a joke really. An American soldier gets up 400 grand in life insurance coverage for who he chooses in case of his death, but comparing it to what some of the families of the Sep. 11 attack got is a joke. Shouldn't we give greater life insurance to the soldiers instead? Figuring they are the ones fighting the war, wether the war is justified or not?

If we compesate families with money in big quantities like this. We need to compensate everyone that looses someone tragically ie. Katrina and Oklahoma city bombing. Are you prepared to pay insane taxes to comfort them?

Some families did receive millions of dollars from losing someone on 9/11. I recently read families of people who were killed in the Oklahoma federal building bombing are crying foul and demanding they receive as much compensation as 9/11 families. I agree that military families should receive more -- they can't take out additional policies since most insurance companies won't cover acts of war or military service.

Soldiers know what they're signing up for. People who worked in the twin towers did not.
Really, your question is absurd.
