Do we put enough emphasis (or too much) on returning our fallen service-members?

I'd like to hear both sides of this. In some cases it's more clear, in others a little more hazy, but do we do enough to return our fallen men and women home?

I think the government does now or at least there is more visibility of the efforts. There is a slot for me in Hawaii with that Command that I'm going to attempt to get after my current duty assignment is over.

Don't we have a saying that goes something like: "No man left behind?" 'Nuff said!

If the fallen soldier was my twin brother I would do everything in my power to bring his remains home. With this in mind I realy don't think you can be overboard when it comes to bring our fallen home.
