Idiocy abounds, I see. (Which doesn't make today much different than yesterday, does it?)
Bill proposed to allow return of U.S. vets buried in France
If you, Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida, would like to locate and solicit the individual permission from each appropriate relative of WWI/WWII soldiers, who died in service and were buried in France, and pay out of your own personal pocket to have their remains exhumed after 60-80 years and returned to the US, and cover the costs of memorial services and burial on American soil, be my guest.
If you want me to pay for it, kindly fuck off.
At least one person involved has their head screwed on straight:
Steve Thomas, a spokesman for the American Legion, said the veterans' group would need some time to look at the legislation. He said the American Legion has always respected the wishes of the families concerning those who died in combat, but noted that "a lot of people may not want to repatriate their fallen loved ones, separating them from their comrades, to make a statement about the French government."
