 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - U.S. troops on peacekeeping missions in Kosovo won't have their pay cut, the Pentagon said Thursday, ending weeks of speculation officials were considering such a move.
The loss of imminent-danger pay and other benefits would have cost soldiers hundreds of dollars each month.
Lt. Col. Jeremy Martin, a Department of Defense spokesman, said imminent-danger pay and other benefits given to troops are reviewed every year. He confirmed the benefits would not be cut but would not comment beyond that.
