We also need to start offering performance incentives to all of our troops in the field. For example, $100.00 per month for life for every soldier who kills a Taliban insurgent. This would be much like the incentive clauses in NFL contracts. This would be paid upon commitment of the deed. If a soldier kills 2 Taliban to his credit, it kicks in immediately. The next month his family gets $200.00 that month, and every month there after
for life. Again, this should come out of Hussein's stimulus money, or from the House Of Representatives pension plan, which has been gold plated for years. Much better. These clowns get it for wasting the taxpayers money, why shouldn't our boys get it for killing the enemy's of the United States?? When a soldier get 5 or more kills, he gets an extra thousand per month for life. Just like the fly boys of WW II, 5 kills = 1 Combat Ace.
For the fighter jockeys the same would apply, but with a slightly different pay scale because they can lay waste to dozens of these guys in one shot. For extraordinary service, like the capturing of Saddam Hussein, that's it. These guys go home, retired for life with a $10,000,000.00 bonus We are offering the big bucks reward to the wrong people. Give it to our guys.
