IDK but apparently this happened during the George Bush regime.
To: bimboeruption
WTF?
Who in their right mind thought dumping the ashes of service men into a landfill was in any way appropriate?
To: bimboeruption
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.”

Some Officer who was not in danger, and would look decidely awkward if he/she was handed an M-16.

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?

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

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

And where did those union civilans GET those remains?? No excuses,,, The civilians had no reason to go to a landfill except that no military solution existed. Of all the crap our military can spend money on. They can’t find a dignified way to despose of those remains and ashes?
How about burial at sea? Ships constantly depart. How about one common repository at Arlington?

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!!!

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.

Or some lazy enlisted personnel who did not want to be bothered with the paper work.
By the way, my wife, who is an 0-4 in the AF, just finished M-16 training in preparation of her deployment to Afghan. Being a liaison for several commanders between different FOB in Afghanistan 'aint all peaches and cream despite being a “high and mighty” Officer.

Right Friend...
Bin Laden’s burial was in accordance with Islamic law.
Our president made sure of that.

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