    Maybe I am a little naive but what does this implicate?

    I don’t know, but I’m sure that some number of people reading this from several .gov and .mil domains know.

    Let’s see…hmmm..a whole bunch of army guys who are trained in processing dead U.S. soldiers are being sent to two locations in the Middle East. What on earth could this mean? I’m gonna take a totally wild guess and say that they’re expecting a lot of new dead soldiers. I know, there are those who might say I RAN into that conclusion too quickly. Must be the wine I s’pose…..
