P.L. 110-317, The Hubbard Act (1 comment ↓ | 5 wiki edits)
H.R. 6580 would ensure the fair treatment of a member of the Armed Forces who is discharged from the Armed Forces, at the request of the member, pursuant to the Department of Defense policy permitting the early discharge of a member who is the only surviving child in a family in which the father or mother, or one or more siblings, served in the Armed Forces and, because of hazards incident to such service, was killed, died as a result of wounds, accident, or disease, is in a captured or missing in action status, or is permanently disabled, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the dollar limitation on contributions to funeral trusts.

Why do these "sole survivors" have to be discharged? Why can't they just get an instant transfer to the military installation of their choice? I do feel for the families that have lost all but one child to military service and the remaining child should be taken out of harms way. I don't think it is fair though, that these individuals would get the same benefits as those who stay to full term at their own peril.
Special treatment, no free pass.
