HONOR: This just isn't right

While our borders lay wide open, our military is scattered over the globe minding everyone’s business to make profits for international bankers. When one of them comes home in a box, his service is attended by mostly relatives and friends. However, when a police officer dies, hundreds of public servants travel hundreds or thousands of miles at taxpayer expense to put on a big show for someone they never knew. As a veteran and former federal officer, I feel this is grossly unfair and totally devoid of common sense.
