I know this title seems absurd but it's right on msnbc.com:

U.S. News - Report: Air Force dumped remains of 274 troops in landfill

Quote:
"What the hell?" he told the Post. "We spent millions, tens of millions, to find any trace of soldiers killed, and they're concerned about a 'massive' effort to go back and pull out the files and find out how many soldiers were disrespected this way?"

- Rep. Rush Holt (Dem.-N.J.)
I hope this news goes viral above how great Newt Gingrich is (a war candidate mr tough fat guy).

When you get home go to foxnews.com or msn.com you will see it. It was frontpage news a couple hours ago. I get sick hearing of people who justify this and compare it to how hospitals dispose of remains. No remains belong in the landfill. Especially on our own soil.

Soldiers have always been just canon fodder to politicians, but, pumped up with patriotism from birth on, people are still so stupid as to join the military and throw away their health and even lives for those jerks...

It's shocking, sickening and most hard to believe that this many bodies of our heros could be done this way and us only now hear about it. They had families, friends....this many surely did!

Okay...I guess there really "could" be that many families that let the military dispose of bodies, but still hard to fathom. No one I know would. Families with terrible financial woes, maybe? or hurt feelings between them all??

What happened under Obama's watch?

At what level was this allowed and did they jail or retire whoever did this without pay or retirement pay?

So this happened before 08, and its only being reported on now?
BTW, who was the idiot at the top of the Air Force food chain that thought this was ok?
