Our dining hall shows the British news and I saw this today. I work with the militaries of a lot of nations here on Kandahar Airfield while fixing computers so I have a great respect for all the work these men and women do.
Each military casuality receives a "Dignified Transfer" on our flight line before the remains are sent home. Britain has used one point of arrival, (like we use Dover AFB) and it is now changing that.
I only hope the people at Brize Norton pick up the slack and continue where Royal Wooten Basset left off. Perhaps we should consider something like that at Dover AFB.
