wow. amazes me that people will fight and die for such small amounts of money.
I wonder if you could just say that you'd rather not be in imminent danger and let the govt keep the 75 bucks???

Not really. They can't give two weeks' notice, either.
Congress can appropriate more money if it's really necessary, but the Commander in Chief can order them to pay it.
I'd suggest they give the troops the money budgeted for bonuses for political appointees.
