Everyday I think the self-centered immoral Bushies can't possibly sink any lower. Everyday I discover I am dead wrong.
The rabid rightwingers aren't content with shipping coffins back from Iraq in the dead of night.
Now they are shipping bodies as freight!
What? Do they think all the troops are from New Orleans?
"Many are arriving as freight on commercial airliners --stuffed in the belly of a plane with suitcases and other cargo."
Gawd. Even for the dark side, this is un-fu*king-believeable.
The Bush administration's continued war on Iraq continues to anger those who ought to be its constituents. San Diego 10News reports that dead soldiers are being shipped freight to avoid publicity and perhaps to save costs.
Dead heroes are supposed to come home with their coffins draped with the American flag -- greeted by a color guard.
John Holley and his wife, Stacey, were stunned when they found out the body of their only child, Matthew John Holley, who died in Iraq last month, would be arriving at Lindbergh Field as freight.
Matthew was a medic with the 101st Airborne unit and died on Nov. 15.
"When someone dies in combat, they need to give them due respect they deserve for (the) sacrifice they made," said John Holley.
John and Stacey Holley, who were both in the Army, made some calls, and with the help of U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, Matthew was greeted with honor and respect.
"Our familiarity with military protocol and things of that sort allowed us to kind of put our foot down -- we're not sure other parents have that same knowledge," said Stacey Holley.
The Holleys now want to make sure every fallen hero gets the proper welcome.
The bodies of dead service members arrive at Dover Air Force Base.
From that point, they are sent to their families on commercial airliners.
