Maybe some of our Military Veterans out there can answer this question.

Last night while sitting around chatting with a few family members a discussion was struck up about President Obama calling the end of 'Combat' operations in Iraq.

This brought one of my family members to ask the following question.

Since our soldiers usually are allotted "Combat" pay for active duty assignments in certain 'Combat' zones. With Obama ending 'Combat' operations in Iraq, will our remaining 50 thousand soldiers lose their 'Combat' pay status?

None of us last night could answer that question?
