National Guard Photos: "We put the 'fun' in funeral"

I wouldn't draw a connection between training and a real funeral, and then be upset about something that didn't happen.

Train how you fight. And mix in what that chick said about how someone is getting a jacked up flag for having an outdoor funeral when it's chilly... It seems these kids aren't taking this assignment seriously. I don't care what they do out of uniform, but while in it, I expect them to be professional.

That I expect from my tax dollars.

You do bring up an excellent point... Thanks to YouTube, Facebook, Twatter, etc. everything is magnified 100x. Did you hear about the guy who did that thing back in 1984? NO! Because social media was actually talking to people in real life. Times, they are a changing.

I also think that in this "Information Age" It is a lot easier for a stupid choice to get handed to millions and millions of people. It is a LOT easier to do something and not put a second thought to publicizing it, and before you know it you cannot take it back or do any damage control.

We all do stupid things, but I think nowadays it is way too easy to show millions of people your stupid choice.

Exactly. It wasn't even a casket that was to be used in an actual funeral. If people are getting mad about a training casket then we need to contract a hearse the draw them from TASC rather than, "who has a truck?"

Morbid release will happen at all levels of funeral service. If people got mad at every almost, near-fuck up, everything that can go wrong will, that happens with funerals then every one would be mad.

Because regardless of what happens at practice, everyone is as professional as they can be at the real service.

They should more mad at the way the VA handles the remains after the service.
