How to keep carpet stores from walking all over you. And car repair shops from taking you for a ride. Get expert advice on these topics and more, from the Washington Consumers’ Checkbook.
Robert Krughoff, President, "Washington Consumers' Checkbook"
Why do soldiers risk their lives to recover the remains of fallen comrades? Why does the US military still expend time and money trying to locate soldiers remains from the Korean war, decades after hostilities ended? And what does our treatment of enemy dead in Iraq or Afghanistan say about us? We look at the complicated physical, social, religious, economic, and political issues that affect attitudes toward soldiers who die in wartime.
