DEAN USES HIS INFLUENCE TO GET BROTHER BURIED IN ARLINGTON!

[cryofan]

Dean's brother trekked into Laos decades ago as a CIVILIAN and died there.
Apparently, Howard "I have a bad back! Will that get me out of the draft?" Dean used to his influence to rush the recovery of the body (ahead od military body recoveries) and is getting him buried in Arlington, which is prestigious, free and is only for veterans, and family members of vets.

Real class act!

From http://www.drudgereport.com/dean9.htm an excerpt is shown below:

"SOLDIERS ANGER OVER DEAN BROTHER 'MILITARY HONORS'**Exclusive** Active duty soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are upset over being forced take part in a military repatriation ceremony today for remains believed to be those of the non-military brother of presidential candidate Howard Dean, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"His brother will receive full military honors...flag over the coffin and all!" fumes one soldier, who asked not to be named. ....
The brother's remains were recovered in Laos by a JPAC recovery team this past month. JPAC's mission is to search, recover, and identify remains of US service members who were killed in previous wars.

During the Vietnam War, Dean's brother and an Australian friend treked into Laos as civilians -- and were captured by the Vietcong and killed. JPAC was pressured to not only recover his brother's remains, but to bump Dean's recovery over numerous other MIA's who actually died fighting for their country, a well-placed military source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

Additionally, JPAC is being pressured to push up Dean's brother's identification ahead of approximately a hundred other service members remains, it is claimed.

2. That's despicable.

They return the remains of a U.S. soldier and then have to find a reason to piss and moan about it.

9. Dean's brother was not a soldier...

.....and I am a supporter of Kucinich, not Bush, whom I would literally let burn to death before I would piss on him if he were afire....

This happens to be War, and an unfair one at that. I will take any advantage I can.

If this is true. Drudge is, after all, an unimpeachable source.
