Utterly chickensh*t.
With all the crap upon which the government spends its money, they can’t manage this????
Unbelievable.
More obama hate-the-military BS.
You are correct, sir.
I’d bet there are at least 1000 FReeper veterans from each state that would volunteer their time & travel to honor these brave men with a volley.
Merry Christmas, Jack Hammer.
I did this here in the US while I was waiting to go overseas in 1969. We had seven on the Garands we used and 6 pall bearers and a bugler and an NCO or officer and we covered all of Georgia from Macon southward - Dobbins took care of the northern part I think. It was usually a 1 day trip and we took two AF station wagons. It couldn’t have cost all that much.
I’d think that if an AFB had to cut money to meet allotment amounts, it could find the savings somewhere else on base.

Let’s say your family is the government. You spend your budget on, say, beer and cigarettes. Your wife buys food and sends bouquets to friend’s funerals. Your wife has run short of food money. She needs to cut someplace and food is not an option. She cuts bouquets. You, meanwhile, don’t care as long as you can keep buying beer and cigarettes.
I agree, government wastes 90 cents of every dollar. But the budget is divided into different pots and the pot-holders are not inclined to share. Actually, they are forbidden to share.
The funds for funerals have been redirected to women trying to pass Ranger training.
