Actually the military offers a VERY inexpensive life insurance policy in addition to the benefits the survivors get for free. It's either $9 every 2 weeks or every month for a $200K policy. And again, this is over and above survivor benefits which are outlined here
In addition, the soldiers who were killed had a HIGHER chance of dying in a car accident if they hadn't gone to war.
And let's not forget, every single one of them signed up voluntarily. When you do so, you take an oath part of which says "and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States."
And yes, I have family members in the military and spent the weekend with a members of the AF, Army and Marines. They are more than proud to be soldiers.

they should never be sent to fight for the profits of private corporations. those guys over there are watching their buddies die every single day. some of them survived, but are completely mutiliated. i saw one 20 year old army kid who was driving a fuel truck who had his face burned off after an ambush. fucking fuel truck exploded covering him in burning fuel. yeah, but he survivied, right?
this administration borders on criminal.
