Bush is always commenting about how his political enemies don't support the troops. Of course, everyone knows that BushCo doesn't give two shits about our troops, but
this pretty much proves it:
There's controversy over how the military is transporting the bodies of service members killed overseas, 10News reported.
A local family said fallen soldiers and Marines deserve better and that one would think our war heroes are being transported with dignity, care and respect. It said one would think upon arrival in their hometowns they are greeted with honor. But unfortunately, the family said that is just not the case.
Dead heroes are supposed to come home with their coffins draped with the American flag -- greeted by a color guard.
But in reality, many are arriving as freight on commercial airliners -- stuffed in the belly of a plane with suitcases and other cargo.
John Holley and his wife, Stacey, were stunned when they found out the body of their only child, Matthew, who died in Iraq last month, would be arriving at Lindbergh Field as freight.

Again, think what the Republicans would do with this information if the shoe was on the other foot. TV commercials, election ads, press conferences, and more. Will our guys even mention it?
