The report, in The Washington Post, revealed that the Air Force used the landfill far more frequently than had previously been acknowledged. The practice was ended three years ago. "The secretary is aware of this media report and remains committed to the utmost care for our fallen heroes and their families," George Little, spokesman for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, said in a statement. Little added that Panetta supports "the current practice of placing subsequently identified remains at sea, which has been the policy of the department since 2008." According to the Post, incinerated partial remains were dumped at a King George County landfill in Virginia. They were cremated between 2004 and 2008.

I can't understand how they could do this..... it is just sooooo not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what words I use, it wold not be enough. I can, the leader of this mess is not George Bush, it is the person in the office that decided that the remains of fellow service members were not important enough to have a proper burial. Just to dump them in the trash is a slap in the face for those who have died. If I were the OIC of this I would expect to be fired, at the least. How dare a person in the military treat another solider with such disgrace. Grrrrrrrr Lord! Slappppp that fool up side of the head, please!!!!! That is MO.
