JPAC admits to phony ceremonies honoring ‘returning’ remains - Stripes - Independent U.S. military news from Iraq, Afghanistan and bases worldwide:
"The Department of Defense unit charged with recovering servicemembers’ remains abroad has been holding phony “arrival ceremonies” for seven years, with an honor guard carrying flag-draped coffins off of a cargo plane as though they held the remains returning that day from old battlefields.
The Pentagon acknowledged Wednesday that no honored dead were in fact arriving, and that the planes used in the ceremonies often couldn’t even fly, and were towed into position."
