Marine's Body Arriving As Freight

There's controversy over how the military is transporting the bodies of service members killed overseas, 10News reported.

A local family said fallen soldiers and Marines deserve better and that one would think our war heroes are being transported with dignity, care and respect. It said one would think upon arrival in their hometowns they are greeted with honor. But unfortunately, the family said that is just not the case.

Dead heroes are supposed to come home with their coffins draped with the American flag -- greeted by a color guard.

But in reality, many are arriving as freight on commercial airliners -- stuffed in the belly of a plane with suitcases and other cargo.

Well, duh.

They are just fodder units after all. If Bushco had their druthers, I'm sure these awkward reminders of the cost of quagmire would never be returned at all, thereby saving both money and needless embarassment -- such as those pesky calls for the Preznit to attend a military funeral or two.

I agree with you, these heroes sacrifice their lives for the country and spent all his lives on the borders and face the difficulties for us,

Their bodies must be moved with honor and pride.
