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.

When Charles DeGaulle demanded all US troops leave France, Lyndon Johnson told Dean Rusk, “Ask him about the cemeteries, Dean.”

The body was repatriated back to California.
