Does the next of kin or whatever of a soldier killed in Iraq get any money? I thought the military had some kind of life insurance thing for all soldiers serving over there, is that not the case?
(*Edit: I just looked it up and it's $250,000 so if her son wasn't married and didn't have kids then the mother and father should have gotten it)
