When a submarine was overdue, it was listed as "missing - presumed lost" (that way, the relatives can get the survivors benefits).<BR/><BR/>The boat remains on the active duty roster (we call it "eternal patrol") unless and until it can be confirmed sunk. When the boat's final resting place is determined, a wreath laying ceremony is held, but the crews' remains remain interred in situ.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, this is neither a practical nor good solution for ground pounders on foreign soil. They must be brought home. TMZ should try looking up the history of the battle at Chosin Reservoir to understand why.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405022718926116083.post-13509127126070975982008-03-22T14:15:00.000-04:002008-03-22T14:15:00.000-04:00When I run this country, 3 billion will be set asi...When I run this country, 3 billion will be set aside every year to find and recover evey single soldier possible.<BR/><BR/>There is not cost too high to bring home the fallen.
