The troops worthy of a fucking box!

They are shipping some of these dead kids home as freight! No flag, no color guard, nothing just shipped home as fucking freight.Sorry for all the F bombs this sickens me.

http://www.10news.com/news/5504608/detail.html

Support the troops my ass! I find it hard to believe the party jumping around demanding we support the troops forgot to send this kid home the proper way.I believe this was done on purpose in the hopes the parents would be too grief stricken to make any noise. Be prepared to puke up that nice breakfast! :puke:

There's an internal investigation going on."

Or are you just predicting how he would answer, based on the 96.1% probability that this is exactly what he'd say?

That's what he always says when they get caught doing something repulsive.

We could save the taxpayers a couple of pennies each by getting rid of McClellan and replacing him with a robot loaded with the McClellan algorithm. I think we'd need a 386SX motherboard, a pc speaker, a Soundblaster 16 sound card, a used water heater casing, and 3 or 4 differently-colored flashing lights.

Just input the new talking points every other day and watch him go. Oh, and Andy Card may wish to equip the robot with some additional hamburger-fetching technology. Or maybe Card's dignity has already been completely destroyed and it doesn't matter anymore.

an 8088 processer, just regular pc speaker, DOS...etc...no sense in putting a prom dress on a pig....

:rofl: :spray:

...I cannot comment...ongoing investigation...ongoing investigation...ongoing investigation."

I hate that fucking weasel.

in its simplicity....a certain kind of symbiotic relationship to its intention also,,,,perfect!!
just keeps going round and round in a circle .....

Such a sad story; sorry I'm laughing my ass off here, but that was a new one on me...
He seems to think that as spokesman for the WH, it's his job to just say "No comment" over and over again... what a creepozoid!!!

So they reclassify them as freight and move them without notice.

To jumpstart the economy requires spending. Doesn't the government know this? And I mean spending, not inane tax cuts. Or corporate leaders, who see fit to trash our jobs and risk even their wealth being eliminated if/when the economy crumbles.

.....The bodies of dead service members arrive at Dover Air Force Base.

From that point, they are sent to their families on commercial airliners.

Reporters from 10News called the Defense Department for an explanation. A representative said she did not know why this is happening.

not in yours, not in mine personally, in our names collectively.

when you're dead you're dead.

pretzle. A DUer dressed mine up with a bow last year and I just brought it out of storage for the holidays.

:hug:

and of course...
:hug: backatcha!

The wives, parents and children aren't dead. Sending their loved ones home with honor and respect is way of honoring the sacrifice made by the living families left grieving.

:eyes:

Honestly, I can not believe you posted that incredibly callous comment.

it's not about you or necessarily the dead soldier. It's about respect for the survivors.

... is that while we are all disgusted by this story, I am sure that none of us is the least bit surprised. This is just the kind of 'supporting of the troops' we have come to expect from this Administration.

Kicked and nominated -- this story needs to be FRONT and CENTRE. It's the kind of story that will turn the stomach of every American, regardless of their political affiliation.

It doesn't surprise me this is symbolic of how they really feel about the troops. Mass consumption, nothing but bodies and numbers meanwhile the families grieve.

about the dead?

I've always been a hat person, even before my hair moved south.


We watch the Miss America pageant and play "spot the boob job."

...but the rich are still getting their tax cuts.
:banghead:

Did no one else realize that she came through for this family??

I can't believe these pricks we have in charge. :grr::puke:

But this just underscores their real agenda and how they really feel about the troops. If this story is accurate, then these pictures should be fucking everywhere. The whole country should see how much bushco really cares about the troops. :grr:

Oh my god.

I would never want my son/daughter/husband etc. to go over to Iraq as it is! But...

Having them be put as freight? ARGH!

What's on the ships/planes they were sent home on? What if there were rats? They're pretty craft animals that could easily get inside a coffin if they tried hard enough.

First they send this poor blighters off to fight in King George's colonial wars, then when the soldiers die, they send their bodies back as freight. Figures. Shows how much K. George and his cronies truly value their soldiers: as canon fodder and nothing more. Humans as mere pawns to be moved around on a map. Bastards.

"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

I guess the Bush* administration is granting the wicked witch her wish....

on goddamn Air Force One !!!

Nothing is more disgusting than to see some politician or general weeping for the "brave troops" they sent to kill and be killed.

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.” - Gandhi

Rumsfeld didn't even sign their DS until the public complained and Cheney has yet to attend one funeral. This is not the least bit shocking giving the policies of this administration.

What will happen to the soldiers coming home with PTSD? They will end up homeless just like our Vietnam soldiers that were ignored by the government. It would certainly explain the 55,000 that committed suicide over the years.

It's shameful.

Which is what war is. Rather, they prefer standing in front of flags and cami-clad generals and spout off about "sacrifice" and "mission" and "heroism".

What will happen to the ones who come back wrecked physically and mentally? They'll be given medals and a monument will be built to them. Then the presentable ones will be trotted out and drooled over to justify the next mass murder. As for the less than presentable ones, they'll be promptly forgotten and blamed for being a burden to the taxpayer.

I was responding to how our politicians use our troops to boost their ambitions. Mangled bodies wouldn't fit into that scenario.

They will be forgotten and blamed for being a burden to the taxpayer, sad to say.

Shop while Americans are drowning along the Gulf Coast and party like it's 1999 on ours, and the troops tax money, and their families.

They take their benefits, destroying Medicare, Medicaid, propaganda us to death, and them while they're risking it all for (not democracy or our freedoms as we've lost them here, and still are daily), no, it's all so Frist and Bush and all the REpuke's can make their HUGE profits.

Hell, they spent more $$$ trying to take down Clinton because he had a consensual fling with a of-aged gal; it takes years of screaming to get our troops much needed army while Halliburton & big Contractor military units are living good in that green zone... They finally are hearing (hopefully) liberal media (who in their right mind would think every single military personnel are Repubs voters), and the list goes on and on.

Then to ship them home like common freight, with no flag, no color guard, no honor is a stinkin' crying shame.

I'd write (again) for Americans to please wake-up, but from where I stand they already have - big time.

Sad. Really sad.

I'd like to see this achieve greater mention in the mSM.

This makes me sick to my stomache....fuckin as*sholes

Honestly, you liberals just don't understand America. Of course, we care about our soldiers but once a person is dead, they're no longer a soldier. Robert E. Lee was a soldier but you don't expect the Government to keep on paying him like he was still alive. I know what your game plan is here and it's not going to work.

Liberals want to saddle the U.S. economy with some crazy scheme to win more votes by pretending to pander to the soldiers. Liberals want to waste time and vital resources rehashing old debates and pretending Clinton didn't ship bodies home FEDEX. Liberals are commie fascist traitors who hate America. Just because you hate George Bush, you want to come up with lies and half-truths to hide your anti-American agenda and I'm not buying. Nice try, America Haters, Nice try.

That picture sends chills down your spine. Funny that only one family has spoken up about this. The article says many troops are being shipped as freight. I'm just so disgusted, please everyone keep this story alive and send this link out. I know many of you have already done so and thanks for nominating it. This story really needs to get out.

send 'em home in boxes and send the rest of the money to the RNC.....

I feel like I a fixen to die rag

You cannot support the troops if you take away their humanity. I hate Boosh with a passion and hope all his fucking friends get tried and convicted in a court of law one day.

Fuck Repukes! WH/Repuke chicken-shithawks should NEVER show their faces in public again! BY FUCKING FREIGHT! FREIGHT! ARGGGHHH I GET SO FUCKING MAD SOMETIMES!

There is no end to the depths these bastards can sink to for a few dollars more. Money is the necon's only God.

I would really like to have this discussed widely. People don't have a fucking clue what they are dealing with.

invaded Afghanistan. The DoD hinted that they may have no choice but to leave bodies behind in the combat zones.

Edit. I also heard them speak of the same thing, about the time they invaded Iraq.

I'm going to search around and see if I can find anything.

Sad and sick

:sarcasm:

This bunch doesn't care enough to send them to war with the proper equipment.
That would involve $$$ that could be lining the pockets of their good buddies.

Same reasoning behind this. These troops are of no further use to Bushco.
Why spend the money?

As I was watching the news I'm sitting there thinking they are loading that poor kid as freight in a box. I know a coffin is nothing more than a box but the thought just sickens me. The parents being interviewed for this story were heartbroken. The poor mother didn't say a word you could tell she was having a hard time hearing her son was shipped home as freight. I'm mean my god the woman just lost her son and this is the thanks and respect she gets? There have been so many laid to rest in the San Diego area and I'm just wondering how many more were shipped home as freight.

I hope each and every fucking freeper slithering around on this board will see this story. They can hide behind their yellow ribbons all they want but it does not hide the truth. They don't give a damn about the people giving their lives for this nasty war. They just want their tax cuts and the troops can be shipped home in fucking boxes as freight, they don't give a damn. You do not disrespect those you send to die. This is really beyond disgusting and since I'm in San Diego I'm going to make it my mission to spread the word.

they deserved better.

:cry:

How many more?

over here!

:cry: :cry:

Bushler HATES the troops!

America is one fucked up country right now run by criminals, thugs, torturers, and murderers.

This is what they think of those who signed up to fight for them. They are freight.

Again I have to ask, when is Joe Q. Citizen going to realize this administration doesn't care about anything but how he can be of financial use to the power structure? We're here to make others rich. Our civil rights, personal feelings and individuality be damned.

than slapping a yellow ribbon on the back of your gas guzzling car/SUV. Come on, do you really expect us to sacrifice more than that?:eyes:
