Well, according to some in Congress, yes, it is. In point of fact, not only is it the same but the honors at a funeral should be the same in terms of a flag draped casket and the presentation of a flag. TSO over at This Ain't Hell has an excellent post up on the bill introduced as a bipartisan measure by some who should (and, I suspect, do) know better. THIS BILL IS UP FOR VOTE TODAY! What can you do? So, do two things: 1) Call your Member of the US House. The switchboard at the Capitol is 202-224-3121. 2) Reach out to other military and political blogs. I have as much chance of getting things up at HotAir, Ace of Spades and simliar blogs of late as I do of becoming an international hand model. So, send them all emails, and get them on this. The vote is today, so we have no time to lose. Light up the boards folks, let them know what you think of HR 2061. I've already called my representative and told his office no, no, and hell no. Literally. This needs to be shot down, hard and fast.
