Things are getting bizarre by day. In case of Iraqi bio/chem attack transporting the infected corpses back to the States would be become problematic. Pentagon now contemplates building crematoriums in the desert.

** Use of field cremation would alter a longtime U.S. military tradition of making every effort to return each person's body home in a flag-draped coffin.
It is not yet clear if the military would operate a crematorium in the Middle East or how the ashes would be sorted and returned to families. ** Check with the Germans, they make really efficient crematoria... ;) and they apparently have lots of scientific and engineering experience in Iraq....
