No, they are not luggage and this is the LEAST of what we should be doing to honor our soldiers.

My God! What an insult to every parent and child that had to bury a loved one for lies.
With the billons (of OUR tax dollars) this administration has thrown about, you’d think they’d treat these men and women with the respect they deserve. What if it were the shrub twins? how would they come come?

Oh, and my favorite story is when they were flying about 20 bodies out and the navigator said to the Marine captain (this was a couple of years ago), “I’ll bet you wish Rumsfeld was in one of those coffins.”

Response: “Hey, you can’t say that.”

A good friend of mine makes his living flying bodies out of Iraq, and flying weapons and equipment in. Sometimes, he gets the pleasure of fulfilling both these objectives on each side of a round trip.

I’ll tell you this: he is never short of work.

That was the subject of one of my first posts and I hope that my older brother who was killed in Vietnam didn't come home like fucking luggage.

Another fine example of Bush et al blowing the job…such sensitivity to the families of troops that have given their lives for his lies. Thank god they and their families are finally receiving this small measure of respect.

When was it this administration thought about cost savings? Bush’s inauguration? Creating falsified information for the war? Photo Ops? No expense spared there. Once again, this proves how this administration considers the common man as dirt beneath their feet. The common man votes.

Sending fallen soldiers home as frieght luggage…not only is that the ultimate insult but it perfectly encapsulates the soul (or lack thereof) of the Bush administration…as if we needed another example of mass criminality

Parents should not have to bury their children, it is so unnatural. But when it happens, and when that child happens to be a soldier who was killed in action, that parent should never hear the word “expeditious.”

This administration has no decency. At the end of the day, their concern only for their own expeditious needs is beyond criminal.

Time to throw them out of office.
