Re: Serving their country
they now get a tax free bonus if they are in a "hazardous area" - currently Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is supposed to work out better than not paying the tax.

Not seen it in action, and is was not backdated to when I was in Iraq, so can't comment of how effective it is.

LOA still exists, and is paid to all personnel serving overseas.
