#6 Ashes to ashes,
And dust to dust, son.
He'd better get used
To eternal combustion.

#8 Never heard the US State Department comment or forward condolences on the death of a soldier or Marine. Strange, very strange, but it is generally a very strange bunch, those State and foreign service types.

Many years ago while in D.C. a colleague and I had an appointment with a fellow at State whom I had previously served with when he was on on active duty. Traffic was especially bad that day and we ended up being delayed. Can't remember how long, wasn't too bad for D.C. He was pretty high up in the LA section. Upon arriving his office...intro's and apologies, he replied, "not much on punctuality are you." I nearly got up and left right then, but ignored it instead. Walking out his office in that manner would not have went over with my boss.

Wrote my AAR, sent it to the boss, and never talked with the man again. That was nearly 25 years ago. Still don't plan to talk to him. The old Harry Truman axiom, "If you want a friend in D.C., buy a dog" comes to find.
