Description:
A bill in Congress seeks to eliminate military slot machines overseas that take in $130 million a year, mostly from soldiers, to help finance the U.S. Army’s morale, welfare and recreation programs. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Lincoln Davis, D-Tennessee, named the bill after Army Warrant Officer Aaron Walsh, a decorated Apache helicopter pilot who became addicted to gambling on military slot machines and committed suicide after several failed attempts to break his addiction.
