    I feel that this Bill 731 is unjust and should not be passed. Our armed Forces have in the pasted and present have done such an outstanding job, not to mention put their lives on the line to keep this Nation free and a great place to live. For the US Congress to take something like this away is saying thanks for serving your country, but because you broke the law and have been convicted of committing certain sex offense you will not be entitle from receiving certain burial related benefits and funeral honors as member of the Armed Forces.

    How unjust. So the men and women who defended this nation are now outlawed from burial because of a conviction. If that’s the case, we ought to dig up and oust everyone ever convicted of any offense. No. This insanity needs to stop already.
