An employee of a corporation has the option of quitting if his employer puts him in harm's way. Someone in the military does not have that option.

Fint..Given that the military is a volunteer organization, in part you have a point. However, the payment is not so much for the deceased, as it is for the surviving spouse in many cases with small children to be able to survive during a period of emotional transition. I would think you could wrap yourself around that concept and understand. I would suggest different levels of coverage, taking into consideration marital status, number of dependents, etc.

Just an observation but the desire to increase the coverage may be a way of soothing the consciences of those who made the decisions in the first place.
