    Always rips me up seeing clips like these. I served 22 years in British Army, served alongside Americans in the Gulf...... Lost a couple of good mates, most gut wrenching thing I ever done was visit one of their families when I got home, told them exactly what happened. I'm proud to have served the free world alongside good allies, find it disgusting that anyone can dislike these clips

    I love there are those who say it took so long. My uncle served both Korea and Vietnam. Upon retiring he took the recovery job for remains found and aircraft found after natural disasters sometimes remains were still in their seats. After that he was in charge of security for the SD airport after 9/11. He always believed remains were held and bargained with when needed by Vietnam. As for identification not until DNA in the 90's were many identified unless returned with dog tags or personal items like a wedding ring. I remember in the 80's a soldier returned and buried on memorial day in the grave of the unknown soldier and watching my family and friends stand at attention when it was occurring after our memorial day parade in bridesburg. Because of DNA this man has since been returned to his family. Just remember history will always repeat itself. Those who have such negative things to say about our country will you stand up or hope for the best if another country pushes their boundaries since as we as a country are completely split.

    @@dallastaylor5479--It's NOT "just a flag". It is one of the symbols of our nation--the defining one for most people in the world. I, too, have served my nation. My service was at a time when we were spit on, the men called "baby killers" and the women "sluts" and "whores" . Yes, our service means that we protect the rights of others to protest the flag and our country's policies. However, what you and most of America seem to forget is that the military doesn't make foreign policy. The military carries OUT the foreign policy set by the POTUS and supported (supposedly) by Congress--people whom the hoi polloi elect, most times without thinking what the results of those elections will mean. These men and women, identified now by DNA, dog tags, and what personal effects were buried with them, deserve the RESPECT of those who reap the benefits of the freedoms for which men like LT CDR Frederick Peter Crosby gave the last full measure of devotion.
