In an about-face by the U.S. government four years into the war in Iraq, America's fallen troops are being brought back to their families aboard charter jets instead of ordinary commercial flights, and the caskets are being met by honor guards in white gloves instead of baggage handlers with forklifts.

+10 for this father who stood his ground.

i'm surprised they are not freeze dried into military green cubes to
make use of the baggage claim area so they can stack them on a
hand truck....

forklifts......what a bad joke....

i can see the military doing everything expeditiously but not at this stage of the game....

Glad that San Diegan guy did what's right for america.

This has been occuring for quite some time Spence
