Why does the sight of soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice being honored bother you so?
Did I say that it bothered me? Don't ever put words in my mouth.
What gets me is how thus far, it has not been allowed to have a media fest with returning coffins of our dead soliders like they had with those coffins coming back from Vietnam. I think that was a good idea.
What this light colonel did was pure hubris. Strip him down to an E1 and give him the boot.
