Where or where is the outrage?
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 01:23 AM by hector459
"The Pentagon's reasons for denying the media access to the caskets returning to Dover AFB are widely reported and legally contested," says Cox News Service. "What isn't so well known is that the Pentagon refuses to allow the families of dead soldiers access to the caskets," a policy "created in 1991 by then-secretary of Defense Dick Cheney."

1. Chickenhawks like Bush & Cheney
don't want the caskets shown or honored. It's just dead kids for corporate profits of the Bushies. Nothing democrats didn't know was coming by the GOP sheeple voting for Bush.

4. From the same bastid chickenhawks who opposed Nightlines
reading of the names of the fallen. They refuse to honnor them because that just may inflame some. Bastards. The cerimony & honnor in which their brother in arms handel their loved-ones coffin often assist a grieving family, although not much, in handling the most difficult thing they will ever have to deal with.

This bastard administration has not the least bit of honnor nor respect for these fallen men & women because they never had the courage to serve in uniform (pretending doesn't count, AWOL georgie).

I'm not saying that a person has to have served to honnor & respect these men & women, but these chickenwaks have demonstrated time after time that their agendas are far more important than the sacrifice of the fallen, and they are UNABLE or UNWILLING to understand or care about the lives that they have ended.

3. It's not what's happening to this country
It's what a few choose to do or support.

Repukes are fools who would have followed Hitler straight into the ovens if they weren't stoking the fires themselves. But MOST of us are not like Cheney and his evil kind.

Remember that.
