'Respect our warriors': House GOP veteran proposes key benefit to aid deployed service members
Fox News
Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson on Thursday introduced a bill to eliminate taxes for all U.S. service members deployed overseas.
"When our soldiers deploy for combat, they don't pay taxes. When they deploy around the world to promote peace and deter war, they pay taxes. The Brave Act makes it clear: reward both of these deployments—respect our warriors," Davidson said.
Combat zones where service members’ pay is tax-exempt are decided on an ad hoc basis by executive order. Currently, roughly a dozen countries and regions qualify as such, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Somali and the Sinai.
