#2
The Israelies already have one. It automatically digs a hole and wraps a kafia.

#3 2b: Such a vehicle would be very useful in natural disasters. Individual, marked graves, lined with cheap plastic support walls are far preferable to mass graves filled with body-bagged corpses, which are the current alternative.

You might even use plastic coffins, if there is a strong possible need for exhumation.

The important thing is to bury the bodies as quickly as possible, before you get a major disease outbreak.

#4 I know you are right, Moose. I was just having some snarky word fun. But be that as it may, after the Rachel Corrie affair, with its Seattle plays and global calls to boycott Caterpillar, I don't think it wise PR move for them just because it would be portrayed as a tool for the evil Zionists.

#5 Well, I was figuring that the sucker would be so large that it would be carried by the US Navy. It would probably be too heavy to be carried by a Chinook, so it would need open roads as well as a large open area to operate.

6' is probably too deep to core, so I am guessing it would have circling hoe heads. As soon as it had dug the hole it would insert an open plastic "box" in it to keep the walls from collapsing, then dump the dirt next to the hole and inserting an ID stake before moving on.

#6 A Vermeer trencher would do.

#8 6: Oh, god yes. Unburied bodies are a nightmare in the case of certain epidemics. Otherwise, they are just really stinky and nasty and breed insects like there is no tomorrow--also a good reason to bury them quickly. They are also far more difficult to handle once decomposition starts to work, with both the body digesting itself and bacteria going to work.

If properly buried in a plastic body bag, they will be a lot more identifiable as needs be, for a lot longer.
