That's not surprising at all and I suspected as much when the military didn't want flag drapped "coffins" being in the newspaper. It's because with enough eyes on it someone might have noticed something suspicious.
But hey we can never cut military spending. What I find remarkable though is that despite all the claims about waste in Medicare or S.S. we rarely if ever get reports of widespread abuse and waste. In the military we get some new story at least once a month, but often much more frequently.
It really surprised me. Now the ceremony, knowing it is for an empty coffin, will never be the same. Isn't there a better way to honor the fallen?
