Give every tax break to those who defend our freedom, whether it's in a declared combat zone or not.

Finally, some acknowledgment that our military's facing real dangers even in places off the usual radar.

Fair enough, if we're sending them there, they deserve the same benefits as those in more official combat zones.

Tax breaks for military families are great, but how about investing that money in peacebuilding instead?

Expanding these benefits acknowledges the danger but continues the never-ending military presence abroad.

Supporting our troops means more than just tax breaks; let's also debate the need for their presence in conflict areas.

If we have troops deployed, we should focus more on bringing them home than on tax laws.

Taxing those who risk their lives abroad is a no-brainer, but so is asking why they're there in the first place.

Our soldiers deserve every penny they can save when they're serving in dangerous places, no questions asked.
