    URGENT! No Further Need For Body-bags
    C-Span's Brian Lamb just this morning showed what appears to be a government document enunciating a new U.S. policy for dealing with the bodies of military people killed in action. It goes on to say that instead of following the time honored tradition of trying to retrieve, identify
    and send back the remains of every American soldier or service-person killed in action, by this document the new military policy is to deploy mobile crematoriums to dispose of the remains near the battlefield. The ashes will be sent back to the grieving relatives. This ends the need for body-bags and the document goes on to say that they, the military, would try to address religious objections to this form of disposal of the dead by balancing them (the objections) with the need to protect the homeland from exposure to anthrax.

    "If it's even true, which I doubt, it would never fly. The public reaction would be soundly negative, not to mention the uneasy similarity to certain concentration camps. It may not be a hoax, just a memo somebody wrote when asked how to deal with the logistical and medical problems of bringing people home. But it would never get approval."

    It appeared to be a policy statement. The point is that it's been proposed! Of course it would "never fly."

    my aunt got me a hospital body bag for my birthday some years ago. I keep it on a bookshelf. Toe tags and everything. It's sky blue, and rather cheery looking.
    She insists that one day we unwrap it and take it out to a forest trail, hide in it, and wait for a jogger to pass by.






    (that's how i turned out this way, in case you've been wondering.)
