#1 I was going to say this is just another MSM pee on the military story, but that last graf about the isolation at chow makes me sad. Hope these guys have a real good sense of humor.

#2 ..while the Iraqi will be buried in a plot outside Fallujah facing Mecca.

Remember, this is being done to the bodies of terrorists, IMO undeserving of any respect in death as well as in life. Will the Muslim world notice this? Probably not.

#3 A little perspective wouldn't hurt here. First off, has anyone seen corpses resulting from traffic accidents? House fires? From jumping out of WTC Towers?

The whole Middle East isn't worth one dead Marine, but at least they have passed away performing in the noblest of causes.

#4 The 16 Marines who process the dead, working eight at a time in 24-hour shifts

I think the US should have enough money to have more of these Mortuary Soldiers and send them home after a 15 days shift. I have seen dead people in a conflict. It's not a pretty site. I admire these 20-23 years old who do that job.
