Fallen troops now political pawns in shutdown fight

WASHINGTON — The battle over deceased troops’ death benefits was an emotional gut punch even for many beltway regulars used to bitter partisan bickering.

Arnold Fisher, chairman of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and former CEO of the Fisher House Foundation, called the stoppage of the survivor payouts an embarrassment for the nation. Officials from the American Legion called it unconscionable political gamesmanship.

On Thursday, Republican lawmakers charged Pentagon leaders with intentionally misreading the law to cheat families of fallen troops out of their survivor benefits. Defense Department Comptroller Robert Hale bristled at the accusation, calling it incorrect and offensive.

White House officials blasted GOP leaders for knowing about the death benefit problem for weeks and failing to stop the problem by passing a federal budget. Earlier, House Speaker John Boehner said it was the Pentagon that was unnecessarily withholding the benefits, a “disgraceful” decision in his view.

The latest blame game mirrors others that have taken place over the last 10 days, on topics ranging from program interruptions to worker furloughs to monument closings.

But involving fallen servicemembers has added a grim aspect to the predictable political fight.

At least 29 servicemembers have died since the shutdown began Oct. 1. In an interview with NBC News, Shannon Collins -- the mother of a 19-year-old Marine killed in Afghanistan last week -- said the payout problems have caused unneeded pain.

"The government is hurting the wrong people," she said. “Families shouldn’t have to worry about how they’re going to bury their child. Families shouldn’t have to worry about how they're going to feed their family if they don’t go to work this week."
