3. Women are an important part of our military. What do you think should be the role of women serving in combat?
4. How would you ensure that Congress authorizes and fully funds legislation that allows all disabled military retirees (regardless of percentage of disability) to receive their full military retirement pay and disability compensation without offset?
5. Our Active Duty, Reserves and National Guard are assigned to duties throughout the world. Many units have been required to do multiple assignments in hazardous areas. What would you do to ease the current burdens on our troops?
6. Veteran's service organizations provide veterans, their dependents and survivors aid in the preparation and prosecution of claims for benefits free of charge.
