I'd like to know what kind of rationale went into it, and who proposed it and why?


No, they don't, Karen. The story twisted the fact that if you are on a daily food allowance instead of rations when you go into the Hospital, you lose the allowance. Since it is given to you as a monthly allotment, they backcharge it out of your next paycheck. That's fair.

I will never forget receiving a $300 TPA allowance in 54 to travel from Ft Ord to New York City. When I finally got to Germany they made a mistake and reduced my paycheck, as a private, from $95 to $40 to make me repay it. Took me three months to straighten it out.
