The government should pay a million dollars on each dead soldier.

Me thinks you have no idea of what you are talking about!!!
QUOTE
"The death gratuity is a one-time non-taxable payment to help surviving family members deal with the financial hardships that accompany the loss of a servicemember.
A payment of $100,000 for survivors of those whose deaths under the following conditions:
A member of an armed force under his jurisdiction who dies while on active duty or while performing authorized travel to or from active duty; "
The gratuity plus the insurance for being in a combat zone comes to a total of $500,000. A half million dollars is a lot different than the $12,000 you suggest.

It's hard to say because it's the loss of a life, how do you put a price on that, but most active duty military have SGLI, my husband's is $400,000, which still isn't the same, but I mean 12,000 is plenty for a proper burial.

It is no longer $250,000. The new life insurance amount is $400,000 for everyone.
