    It's a spectacular waste of taxpayers money.

    I did a lot of those sort of things though. I carried coffins for repatriation of remains from the Korean War, from the plane to a bus. I've done one interment into the USS Arizona, that was a pretty amazing one there.

    It was nice. I did advance in Dubrovnik for like a week before the boss came by. Stayed in a hotel at the beach.
