A years-long battle to pass legislation that would compensate World War II-era merchant mariners appears destined to fail again this congressional session, and as the mariners' ranks dwindle, advocates are worried that could mean the end of the fight altogether.
"These guys aren't getting any younger," said Sindy Raymond, with the Just Compensation Committee, a non profit group. "We're losing more and more of them each year."
The legislation, which has been introduced several times over the past decade, would pay $1,000 a month to all qualified surviving merchant mariners. Twice it has passed the House, including this session.
Both times, though, it has stalled in the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. {read rest}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!

WWII-era Civilian Mariners
The U.S. loves it's Wars {especially those reaping wealth from!}, cheering them on with false 'patriotic' meme's {in this day and age enhancing the hate speak towards others creating even more 'enemies' seeking blowback!} like they're movies or sporting events, but it really hates having to pony up for the long term results as to the few they send or do services in!
Plan to aid WWII-era civilian mariners seems dead
