Support for Atlasia's Soldiers Bill

[DanielX]

I propose an amendment:

The bill shall hereby be re-written as follows:

Support for Atlasia's Soldiers Bill

Section 1 - Pay for Armed Forces Personnel
An increase in annual pay of $2,000 for all active duty military personnel and reserve and National Guard personnel serving in a zone of special danger at any time during the fiscal year.

Section 2 - Funding
The funds for the above salary increases shall be derived from the budget of the Defense Department.

Section 3 - Definition of a Zone of Special Danger
A zone of special danger shall be defined as an area where there is a significant amount of active combat, in which the risk to military personnel is substantially above the norm.

Abstain. I don't like either one.

[DanielX]

Aye

Abstain. Some good stuff, but I don't like Section 3 and I think we need to be a little tighter on the purse.
