How much more of a bonus should you get to deploy? Should MOS and/or being a "Fobbit" be a discriminator?

SMA calls for bonus money for soldiers on deployment, at NTC

As part of its push to make sure all soldiers are ready to deploy, the Army is working on a proposal to pay extra cash to soldiers who do.

I don't believe so, many who are unable to deploy or haven't provide tremendous support. I believe that it can hurt morale and unit cohesion if we give special benefits to those that deployed and those that didn't.
