Practice stopped 3 years ago.

OK, of course Deadeye D!ck and his puppet mini-**bleep** didn't want the remains of those brave lads to fall into the hands of leftists.

Extrapolating- that is exactly how much Newt is going to care about your kids after he and John Bolton send them to Iran.

Well it wasn't as bad as I thought is was after I read the story. From your post I thought they dumped whole bodies in the landfill. What I question is if they knew the 900+ body parts belonged to only 200+ bodies, why couldn't they identify them. I don't care what it cost, the body parts should be identified and returned to the family or at least let them make the decision as to how they are to be handled.

And to thiknk that this was carried out by the most radically Christianized, almost jihadist like, public intitution we have in this country?

One would have thought, to listen to these people......

We need to find out who ended the practice and give him a metal. We need to find out who started the practice and strip him of all government benefits. If he is found guilty of criminal activities he should be prosecuted.

Yes, I beleive you are correct.

But I do quite honestly believe that it reveals the private truth behind the public displays of F-16s flying over Nascar races and the singing of God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch.

Despite the rhetoric we have a soulless political bureaucracy that doesn't give a hoot who it chews up and spits out.

That is the EXACT reason I don't want them in control of my health care.

Keep growing really good crops. Do a good job of marketing and try not to get too sick.

The answer to both your questions seems to be here.  You will have to get past your poster boy though.

The Air Force said it first cremated the remains and then included those ashes in larger loads of mortuary medical waste that were burned in an incinerator and taken to a landfill. Incinerating medical waste is a common disposal practice but including cremated human ashes is not, according to funeral home directors, regulators and waste haulers.

Air Force officials said they do not know when the landfill disposals began. They said their first record of it is Feb. 23, 2004. The mortuary database became operational in late 2003.

The Air Force said mortuary leaders decided to end the practice in May 2008 because “there was a better way to do it,” Jones said. The military now cremates unclaimed and unidentified body parts and buries the ashes at sea.
