I wish I could say this was unbelievable.

Dumping of partial remains of war dead in a landfill?

 

What the hell are these people thinking? The dept of defense can waste money hand over fist, but they cant think of something better to do with remains of our fallen troops than this? This is one of those times I am almost ashamed to say I am a vet and served with dumbass a-holes like this.

[BeeR]

One? Almost? I've been ashamed many times over the years tho granted this is one of the worst. NEVER underestimate the ability of the military to be effed up beyond belief.

I do not have issues with the disposal of earthly remains. Most do. Given the consensus on the issue it was inexcusably tone deaf, and an inexcusable managerial mistake to toss these remains out as trash. Given this airbase is only miles from the open sea it would have been plenty eash to stockpile the ashes until a decent load of them was around, and then, after an appropriate ceremony with a chaplain to have spread those ashes out over the sea.

Agreed.
