I'd like to see the statistics of how many service men and women actually go overseas and serve on the frontline.  Have you served in the military and served on the frontline, 65?  Kudos to you if you did.  Alaska's the last place ISIS terrorists will be coming to do bodily harm.  The main fight is overseas.  Why should any military receive a bonus for sunbathing in the sun and sipping on a salt rimmed daiquiri?
