Submission + - Troops pay baggage fees on way to war
sparhawktn writes: There is something fundamentally wrong with this picture and it doesn't matter if you are for or against the war. In my opinion this is the same as having the police or fire pay for their own gas while going to assist someone. What is the point to this? No one can make any logical or sensible argument for something so stupid.
[quote]Some airlines are charging U.S. soldiers extra baggage fees to take their military kits with them as they set off for war. Military personnel carry large, heavy kit bags containing boots, clothing and gear. In the past few months, airlines have instituted fees for all travelers ranging from $15 for one bag to $250 for a third bag.[/quote]
