Instead of coffins, let’s reflect upon the returning U.S. corpses at an earlier stage, in their body bags.
Instead of uniform boxes, we’ll sample the various sizes of body bags used, dependent upon what remained of the lost soldier. IED, mortar,fire.
Instead of names, we’ll mark each variant bag with a likely cause of death, and the corresponding number of fatalities for each.
Instead of limiting ourselves to those soldiers lost in Iraq, we’ll mark those lost -and to be lost- who’ve already returned home.
A hospital bed will mark those lost to Depleted Uranium or Anthrax. A bottle will mark those lost to alcoholism. Etc.
