Those of us who have served in the United States military in any branch hold dear in our hearts the belief that our service has been conducted with honor and dignity to our country. In return, we expect Americans to recognize and accept the sacrifices we have made with equal honor and dignity.
We have been told of numerous incidents where deceased veterans were placed in incorrect or unidentified graves and of where body parts were thrown into an incinerator because they could not be identified. We understand those atrocities have been corrected. But we now learn of an outright sham on the part of the Pentagon.
Remember those TV shots of flag-draped coffins being unloaded from cargo planes that have just landed from the battlefield? Would it bother you to learn that the bodies were often returned several days prior to that scene, and that the planes they were being unloaded from probably couldn't even fly?
Well, the Department of Defense has admitted to the sham.
The admission has blind-sided many veterans and families of MIAs, led to believe they were witnessing the first return of heroic American soldiers killed in war. An investigation also uncovered that some of the remains of soldiers had been in military custody for months before being used during ceremonies.
We can't even trust our government to give proper attention to our military personnel who die for their country? Even that is a big fat lie?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
