Troops Pay For Bags When Going On Planes to War

[Greenday]

How would they not have time on the hours-long flight to fill out the paperwork?

The paperwork isn't from the airlines, thus no one has given them it until they get to whatever warzone they are heading to.

Then perhaps they should be given it to fill out on the airplanes. Perhaps it could even be included with their deployment orders.

That'd make sense. I just think both people from each side who were making up the contracts really screwed up and the wrong people are paying for it, literally.

That'd make sense.

And here's the flaw with your statement. Expecting military command to make sense. :P

(No disparagement meant to people who are in the armed forces, but for each joke about military command making sense that civvies make, enlisted men have 2.)

Soldiers should not be charged for baggage, they have WAY more important things on their mind to think about (staying alive in the battlefield and coming home alive) than a charge for their bags!

Should they also get free tickets? Free meals? Free hotel rooms while waiting for layovers?

Uh, YES. The government should be paying it all. Being moved from station to station shouldn't cost the soldiers a cent.
