The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday that, as long as the budget impasse lasts, it will not be able to pay death benefits to the families of troops who've been killed in combat.
"Unfortunately, as a result of the shutdown, we do not have the legal authority to make death gratuity payments at this time," said Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Defense Department spokesman. "However, we are keeping a close eye on those survivors who have lost loved ones serving in the Department of Defense."

This FOOL if a president has to GO
I hate Obama. He's nothing but low life ghetto trash as is anyone who supports such a vulgar and crude person.
Cannot someone arrange an IED in his vehicle?
If this "no authority" info were true, I certainly wouldn't advertise it!
At least we can rest knowing Obama's CHEF has been deemed "essential" and is still yanking down a check....
R.I.P My brothers and sisters. You PAID the most you can give your country. Your life!!! And this is how your government pays you and your loved ones back.
