Citizen soldiers: Called to fight, on the cheap By RICK ATTIG
So now that tens of thousands of citizen soldiers are leaving their civilian jobs to serve alongside active-duty soldiers with better equipment, including stronger body armor, and more extensive health care and retirement benefits, most of them are just sucking it up.
They sure don't talk about this: Citizen soldiers may fight alongside active-duty soldiers, but if they are killed they cannot be buried alongside them. As it stands, National Guard soldiers are not eligible for burial at Arlington National Cemetery.------------------------------------------- posted 8:47 AM :: reference link ::
