The least the military can do is fly them home.

There aren’t enough expletives in the English language to properly characterize this travesty!

Biden the Corrupt has plenty of money for deadbeat student loans but not $ 60K for a family that lost their daughter in service to the country. What a sick, twisted bunch we have “leading” this country.

“”””The least the military can do is fly them home.””””

The little I’ve read said they did, to where the family directed them to, California.

I have a friend who is a travel agent. One of her clients died on a cruise in the Bahamas. The body was transported on a helicopter to Miami and the helicopter company billed the family of the deceased $50,000. The travel agent investigated and found that the helicopter company had also transported, for free, a number of medical personnel not related to this incident on the same flight. They were not billed. (I don’t recall how this part happened, but the helicopter company was forced to divide up the bill between the passengers. I’m pretty sure the other passengers were not expecting a ten grand bill for a short helicopter flight. But things like this happen.)

If they did fly the body to California, than it’s reasonable for the family to make arrangements to pick up the body wherever it was flown within the state, imo.

Yep, you nailed it. They know exactly what they're doing, too. Have been at it, especially since Barack.

Plenty of money to pay Zelensky. Didn’t bother that criminal regime in DC to leave billions of dollars worth of military hardware in Afghanistan for the Taliban, but they didn’t care enough to bring this soldier home to her family.

That kind of sums up how I feel about that.

Mills said: “Typically, our fallen heroes are flown back home for a solemn service and then laid to a final rest at Arlington Cemetery with the utmost respect and honor.”

It has been my experience that many families regret choosing Arlington, as they discover they would rather have the remains closer to home. During the Vietnam war, loved ones sought to protest the war by choosing Arlington. I've heard this over many years.

Since WW1 we always brought our troops home, even when other countries like England decided to bury them overseas.

When visiting a WW1 cemetery in France last May, the superintendent said family still has the option to request repatriation of remains. Ditto at Normandy where more were brought home than buried there. And WTH did we tramp through mountains in Korea, jungles in SEA and even the Pacific islands….looking for bodies…to bring them home.

This is a Disgrace. Esp when a senile old man is spending over a hundred Billion from a congressional slush fund handed to him for a corrupt hellhole known as Ukraine.
