More Kabuki theater made available by the US Government, brought to you by the letter "C" and the number "3".











** The letter "C" is the first letter in the words:
-comical
-crooked
-chutzpa
-crackpot
-chuckle-head
-corruption

**The number "3" is coincidentally the number of branches that make up the US government.

Is there anything anywhere that we can witness and believe to be true? These men whose remains have been repatriated deserve a helluva lot better from their government.

The "ceremony" has been "symbolic" for many many years....

More than once teeth and bone recovered on site have been found to have been that of host nation personnel, primates, etc...
No doubt there would be similar outrage if indeed we were "honoring" a North Korean brought back from the Chosin reservoir or a tooth or bone fragment from a primate.

We would routinely arrive in the middle of the night after 8-12 weeks digging and sifting dirt in the jungle someplace, living on site, in tents or on bamboo platforms with mosquito nets and our anthropologists would turn our finds into the lab. The lab then went to work validating those finds prior to a repatriation ceremony being scheduled.

That being said, even if no biologic material was recovered (say...only personnel effects were recovered) a ceremony was still performed prior to those artifacts being given back to the family.

Thanks for that post. If figured that was the process and I have no problem with a post ID ceremony.

Thanks.....
