The new military policy is to deploy "mobile cremation units" to the battlefield arena to dispose of our fallen military men should the worst happen. This would end the need for "body bags" and the attendant political damage. The rationale for the cremation policy is fear of anthrax returning to the homeland. No more "Black Hawk Down" with a great part of unit cohesion acheived by their knowledge that their bodies would be identified, treated with the greatest respect possible and returned to the USA for burial or whatever. With people like your Tom Bowman, whose beat is "Military Affairs," NOT reporting on such a sensitive issue, how can general assignment reporters hear about and report on the war inside or out of combat units? We already have a Foreign Legion. Only one Senator and Zero congressmen have family in the services. How close is that to citizen soldiers? And why are military affairs reporters like Tom Bowman not reporting on the deployment of mobile cremation units to eliminate the need for body bags based on "fear of anthrax?" MK in N. O. |
