I haven't seen this posted/discussed anywhere yet.

This is absolutely vile. IMHO, this disgrace is an attempt to draw sympathy for and attention away from Howard Dean and his 'medical disqualification' during the Vietnam War.

What a detestable thing to do to our true heroes.

Who authorised this crap? This is demeaning to the troops, this guy was not even in th Military, so why the ceromony??????????? Why was this done? Dean is a draft dodger, ski slope sucker, lied to the Military, and will get beat in the Presidential Vote.

Ask yourself two questions.

If the current administration controls the recovery team (via the Pentagon)...who would have made the decision to push his remains recovery to the top? Easy answer: a Bush appointee.

If the current adminstration controls the military burial process and handles 'honors'....who would have made the decision to bless this honor? Easy answer: a Bush appointee.

In both cases, these gentlemen need to be fired. I strongly suspect that this was all political in nature and would be ammo for the Bush re-election team. I am a GW supporter...but this is really below the dignity of the current administration. It gives them a slight smell of the Hillery administration. Lets lay blame on the correct source of this episode.

its just Dean being very sneaky. the dead brother becomes a soldier..therefore dean is a soldier as well. the brother died in vietnam(laos actually, I believe) and iraq is vietnam..this consumates deans hatred toward the present war in iraq.

I hope that made no sense.....Its just my jab at demlogic!
