Lisa W. Foderaro, reporting for The New York Times, writes, "For some relatives of service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the money feels, at first, like an affront, as if the government were putting a price tag on a loved one's life. Others are thrown off balance by the sudden infusion of $500,000, spending with abandon to assuage grief or finding themselves besieged by hard-up friends and relatives. And the newfound wealth often strains relations among in-laws." And, Michael Massing writes in The New York Review of Books on who is drawn to fight in the US Army and why.
