YOU CALLOUS BASTARDS! FREIGHT THEY SHIP THEM AS FREIGHT!!!

I don't even know where to begin without breaking into a litany of profanity so intense that my keyboard would melt. Just get a load of this:
San Diego Channel 10 Reports

SAN DIEGO -- 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.
Offended? Disturbed? Furious? All three?
Damn it all people this is just sick, plain old cheap wheelin' Rummy the Mummy fucking Wal-Marting our dead kind of sick! Imagine your child, husband, father, chucked into the back of an airplane with a fucking shipping tag on the coffin. That's it baby right next to three overstuffed suitcases and some old lady's schnauzer, Pookie, is your son, daughter, mother, or father!
No flag. No ceremony.

Why doesn't the DOD just make a total mockery of this and sign a deal with UPS or Fed-Ex to deliver them to your fucking door.
Driver: Here you go ma'am/sir if you'll sign right here. No I'm sorry with packages of this size we are only allowed to do porch or street delivery. You have a nice day now.

Unreal folks, just unreal.
