What about the story about warriors’ remains being dumped in landfills? Think that was just the media dragging the Military down? Should they just sit on this information instead?

The Military does what it’s supposed to do (kill people and break things) extraordinarily well. But when it comes to bureaucracy (i.e. maintaining a graveyard), lets just say the record is less than stellar.

Enlighten yourself on standard practices throught the country for disposal of medical waste. Some excerpts from just rudimentary research:

"Another type of medical waste involves the disposal of any anatomical human remains. This does not include the deceased, but refers to things like organs, tissue matter, or removed limbs. These things are required to be incinerated, usually on-site."

"Solid waste is usually steam sterilized and then disposed of in the same fashion as any other trash or waste."

Considering the WaPo is going for sensationalism, I suspect many of the cases were legally addressed under civilian circumstances but that wouldn't suit an agenda to slam the USAF and the military.
