What is happening to this country?

[hinckley buzzard]

IDK but apparently this happened during the George Bush regime.

[Brookhaven]

WTF?

Who in their right mind thought dumping the ashes of service men into a landfill was in any way appropriate?

[papasmurf]

Let’s be very clear here. This WAS NOT done by Uniformed Airmen. This was done by UNION CIVILIANS who work for Air Force and DOD.

“The landfill disposals were never formally authorized under military policies or regulations.”

[From The Deer Stand]

This is shocking, outrageous, and unbelievable.

[DJ MacWoW]

families who had authorized the military to dispose of the remains

Right there is the problem. If we don't love and respect our family members, why you expect ANY government agency to do so?

[ladyjane]

But Osama got a full religious burial service at sea.

[dennisw]

Didn’t the AirForce just acknowledge wiccans and satanists? Do I have this right? If so this is what you get.

Cultural Marxism is rotting us from the core. Just like a three-week-old ham.

[Molon Labbie]

When the Iowa’s turret blew up, sailors remains were tossed over the side and not part of any burial detail.

[ScottinVA]

Bin Laden gets a full-honors burial at sea, yet our troops don’t warrant more than a ****ing DUMPING INTO A ****ING LANDFILL!!!!?????

WTF????????????

I can NOT believe this is happening in my country. It’s become so turd-world...

[ScottinVA]

Air Force and Pentagon officials said last month that determining how many remains went to the landfill would require searching through the records of more than 6,300 troops whose remains have passed through the mortuary since 2001.

TOO EFFING BAD!!! GET ON IT!!!

[ScottinVA]

Just an unceremonious dumping of human ashes into a landfill.

I saw a place in which something similar was done to human ashes. It was called Auschwitz.

Yes, I feel that strongly about it.

[4yearlurker]

Why wouldn't the fallen soldiers families want their loved ones buried with full military honors? I really don't understand this situation.

[Billyv]

The current USAF leadership is the left wing of the US military.

[Hoodat]

Why did they put the Air Force in charge of this. They should have left it up to the military instead.

[floriduh voter]

If the commander in chief (loosely) isn’t pro-life, what do you expect? Individual life is devalued.

[xzins]

What in the world is wrong at the Air Force!!

How do we desecrate the remains of our dead by putting them in a dump?!

[McGruff]

No excuse but a deatil,

e-mail in July from Trevor Dean, the mortuary director, saying that incinerated remains had been taken to landfills at least since he began working at Dover in 1996. Dean is one of the officials facing discipline for his role in the reported mismanagement at the mortuary.

[lonevoice]

No words. There are no words.

[CARDINALRULES]

I don’t know what I am more upset about, the way the Govt. treated the remains or that the families didn’t care enough to take care of the ashes themselves or at least make sure it was done correctly.
