Combat Pay

What we should get for writing about finance so much.

Combat pay is generally limited to individuals in the armed forces who are stationed in a forward area, i.e. a place where actual fighting could take place. This results in additional money in a soldier's paycheck. This combat bonus is exempt from federal income tax.
