They always came-up with such great-excuses.
"Gates said that he had asked more than a year ago about changing the policy. But he said he was told that, if media were allowed to cover the fallen service members' return to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, many of the service members' families would feel compelled to attend, which would pose a financial hardship for them and slow the return of the remains."
Yeah....right......presently (due-to-the-fact media isn't allowed to cover), families are quite accepting of a simple post-card....telling them to accept a package in the near-future.
