Screwing the spouses ...

The crux of the biscuit:

...

To civilians, this is analogous to someone telling us after losing our spouse that we can have his or her retirement money or their life insurance -- but not both. Of course, this would be considered an outrage and an earned-benefits rip-off, but for military families, this evidently makes complete sense to the government. [em on orig]

...

Heaven forbid a military spouse gets what any other citizen would expect after their loved one dies (let alone the fact they died protecting the nation). Can't have that because they might have to raise taxes a tenth of a percent on the rich folks.
