So why aren’t they given benefits?
I didn’t read where they DID not get “benefits”. They were not taken care of. They would not be recognised as US troops, and the State Dept. wouldn’t have recognized them officially, them, any ways. Why weren’t the ambassador and three ‘Navy Seals” given any “benefits” in Benghazi? They MAY have, posthumously, but I doubt that, also.
Matthew stated:
As a TDY (which means Temporary Duty Assignment) and not PCS (Permanent Duty Assignment) that employees of the CIA and State Department get, I am left to be treated at a local hospital, no matter how bad the care is. While at the hospital with my team, I finally get seen 10 hours later by a guy who appears to be on medication, who does not speak English, nor should be touching me at all, in my opinion. ....Do civilians get TDY or PCS? I don’t think so. You and the other joker above need to read before you emote.
