Ukrainians Honor Their War Dead In A PUBLIC Ceremony!

Why doesn't the US? Note also the use of a US C-130 for transport. I have never seen anything like this happen, after 1357 dead soldiers, here in America!







Pall bearers carry the coffins of perished Ukrainian servicemen from a U.S. Air Force C-130 after its landing in Boryspil airport near Kiev, January 12, 2005.

3. we could best honor our dead

by making sure no one else dies. The USA only fights for peace right? Let's declare peace against the whole world.

4. The fact the we DON'T do this is evidence of the deep sickness

this administration is suffering from.

Any sane president who decides to go to war would say, Well, we're going to have to make some sacrifices, these people are heroes, let's honor them. I still wouldn't agree with the war, but cripes, I'd have the sense that the president stands up for what he believes in.

Instead we have this major denial-fest, where we can't even acknowledge the deaths of the soldiers because it might make people question the president. How sick is that???
