The United States of America is now officially FUBAR. When this is the way we handle the remains of our fallen troops and to treat the families in such a manner is beyond despicable.

If this is not the straw that breaks the camel's back for this cabal, then I give up because this country is too far gone to ever get better again. Goodbye.

1. Robotic pallbearers - the wave of the future!

2. But people have to be informed about this

Does this make any of the 24 hour news channels? Does it get shown on tv?

3. Kicked and recommended

because the MSM is not covering this... yet. I think if we get it to our greatest page (and then to our home page, mods?), someone might get to thinking that this is major news.

:kick:

4. This country is too far gone to give a rats fuck about life in the

ordinary world.

But when it comes to the wealthy, it is a far different story, 'eh? The rich won't close the casket until the world views the dead.

5. Recommend this photo on Yahoo!

Far too much escapes the ken of the media. Every American needs to see this picture!

6. I went to recommend it, and only one other person had done so.

You?

7. Bush's idea of supporting the troops is giving them a jockstrap.

I want to know why the so-called Veterans groups are silent.

Why are they silent about this mistreatment of fallen soldiers?

9. Because if they don't see a picture of it

then it didn't happen. That's why these images needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

10. Oh, look. A Honor Pallette and Forklift Escort. nt

11. But if they HAD enough troops for an honor guard, ...

they'd ship them to Iraq.

12. The get old veterans to do the job

I am sure there would be 1000's of older vets who would feel it was their duty to make sure that the remains of fallen soldiers were handled properly.

13. I would and I'm not a VET..........

I've actually helped my Marine 1st Sgt buddy in planning logistics for a local boy (Marine) killed last fall. Helped setting up motel rooms and mapping routes to and from our county veterans cemetery. Sadly he too was wounded twice in Sept and is still recuperating.

Someone could have even called the local police and they would be there at a drop of the hat. I'm serious they would and perhaps it should be suggested to families. It has to do with honor & duty..no flagged draped coffin should be moved by a fork lift.
