Respect Finally
A couple of weeks ago the US government announced that soldiers who die overseas will no longer be transported back to the states in the baggage section of commercial jets and unloaded by forklifts unceremoniously in faver of private jets and having full honor guard at the airport to greet the bodies. This is wonderful because the soldiers didn't leave home in a crate under a jet so why should they have to return home that way. To relegate them to be stowed away like so much baggage is just a great disrespect. The government say that flying them back under jets with baggage saves time and money when they don't seem to care about spending extra money anywhere else dealing with the war effort. Finally all extra war dollars are being spent on something that everyone can agree on.
