Remains of war dead dumped in landfill

Remains of war dead dumped in landfill

The Dover Air Force Base mortuary for years disposed of portions of troops’ remains by cremating them and dumping the ashes in a Virginia landfill, a practice that officials have since abandoned in favor of burial at sea.

The Dover mortuary, the main point of entry for America’s war dead and the targe t of federal investigations for alleged mishandling of remains, engaged in the practice from 2003 to 2008, according to Air Force officials. The manner of disposal was not disclosed to relatives...

Nice!

:shk:

“My only peace of mind in losing my husband was that he was taken to Dover and that he was handled with dignity, love, respect and honor,” Smith said. “That was completely shattered for me when I was told that he was thrown in the trash.”

Oh no. Please. You can also have the additional peace of mind that he was a slab of beef, otherwise known as a simple "asset" to the US military. Used to regime change, fight illegal wars, and do the bidding of politicians with agendas. I am sorry he wasn't used for the original intended purpose in the Constitution, but you will need to take that up with Washington.

Good luck.

And this surprises all of you................god wake the frak up!

Again, this is what one of the elite, a "statesman" uttered about soldiers.........his true feelings expressed.

"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy." - Henry Kissinger, quoted in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW's in Vietnam"

And most of you still fall for the manipulations, the fear the false flags the enemy over there...........where as the enemy is right here in our midst..............right in our federal capital buildings.



Bush wouldn't even go to pay his respects to the returning vets in boxes............again wake up it's time for change, real change but it's going to take more than keyboarding.

Well, the poor people are used as pawns, plain and simple. The government raised the price on college, then promise the poor free college, and other bait to join. How people cannot see this is beyond me. Fighting for freedom, and fighting for god, the two best scams to brainwash people into fighting. Throw in incentives like college and job training, that no one but rich people, or people willing to put themselves way in the hole can get.... You get idiots signing up by the truckload. Hook. Line. Sinker. Sharkbait.

Got to use up the stockpile weapons, and make our outrageous defense spending seem rational afterall.

I completely understand the frustration and anger that many would have after hearing about this practice, especially if a loved one who passed away was involved. In my opinion however, I don't care what happens to my body after I am gone...It is simply a useless hunk of something that used to be alive.

I suppose some would care about their bodies after they are dead for religious reasons, and loved ones may care because the body acts as some sort of link to the deceased person, but I wouldn't really care to be honest. I think in this situation part of the shock comes from the sheer dishonesty of the practice.

Get yourself together. I can count off far worse atrocities very easily. Just because these guys were members of a terrorist organization makes it no different, in fact, I have less sympathy. How about those 60,000 Americans killed in recent underground bunker explosions, oh wait... That's actually 'above top secret'.

Spshhh!

Yeah, on BTS in General Chit Chat.

We have a two thread rule: one can be in BAN, and the other somewhere else on the site. I thought this topic important enough at least to give the poor widow there in the article the additional exposure. I know the militarists will disagree, but they are just meat.

We are talking about "Portions of remains" in other words Body parts.
Not full body corpses.

"We best honour the dead by remaining true to the cause that they served"

"It's a hard trek and hard road, and that's why we send hard men to walk it for us."

-www.news.com.au...

All I have to say on the subject.
-beez

This same thing is done by coroners all over the US

Samples taken during autopsy's and analysed are cremated and thrown away after the coroners is done with them sometimes years later.

Even during surgeries where hands, feet, or other body parts are amputated from live people the body part is cremated.and thrown away unless the person it was removed from asks for the ashes.

Its US law that all body parts are cremated unless they are buried with the body or saved for research .
This comes under bio-hazards rules/laws.

Somewhere Einsteins brain is pickled in a jar and setting in some research collection.

Yep, woman loses her husband and you take a huge smelly s**t over it all. What a real hero.

Dover screwed up, but as Slayer said, it wasn't lost bodies, but portions of remains.

Members of a terrorist organization?

60,000 killed in an underground bunker explosion?

Care to explain your comments after sipping from the bong water?

You think American Armed Forces are doing good in the world? Think these people are sent around to promote liberty and keep the peace? Keeping your streets safe? Yeah, right...

I'm talking about the other atrocities that don't make it to the news. That can be anything from third world localities to black government facilities. I'll tell you, the latter is beyond anything you could dare imagine, but is real nonetheless and damn appalling. Stuff like that doesn't get discussed around here, it takes personal initiative to dig deep into meaningful topics.

Dismissed.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!

OUR PEOPLE GO TO FIGHT THE ILLEGAL WARS OF THE BANKERS AND ISRAELI MINIONS AND LOOK WHAT RESPECT THEY GET!!!! EVEN THE SHARIA LAW FIGHTERS BURY THEIR DEAD!!!

WE ARE WORSE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD!! WE DON'T RESPECT THOSE WHO DIED FOR US!!!

COST CUTTING THE BANKER WAY!!!

I WISH I COULD NUKE LONDON,WASHINGTON AND TEL AVIV ,COMMAND CENTERS OF THE BANKER CURSE

I truly do not understand why people are so obsessed with this "respectful" when dealing with dead bodies. Do you have ceremonies and all the respect when your fridge or stove dies? Oh that's right, religion!! Sorry folks, when your dead, your dead, lights out, decomposition!!!

There is not a soul.... There is not a heaven or hell. When your dead, your dead, worm food in weeks. Humans are along way from calling themselves evolved.

If you take steps to nuke a populated city , containing hundreds of thousands more innocent parties than legitimate targets, then you would become just as bad, nay many times worse than those against whom you are raging.

It is not appropriate to flatten London for instance, so that you can get at the banking district there. There are approximately twelve million people living in the place, so you cannot justify using a radiological weapon in this area, even if you were to be able to justify murdering the bankers. Furthermore, no thermonuclear detonation would stop at the explosion. The fallout would likely spread on the wind, and since there are more than sixty million people in the UK, you would be exposing vast numbers of innocent people to dangers beyond the imagining of most people.
That would be the most immoral act committed by any individual in a very long time.

If you have trouble accepting that these things would be utterly wrong, you may wish to seek some form of psychological examination , and submit yourself for treatment. We had a member here who spouted violent and unjustified comments, a member who presented with an inability to tell right from wrong. He shot Gabrielle Gifford in the head and hit nineteen other people. Six of the people he shot died, including a young female child with ambitions to become a politician. His name, was Jared Lee Loughner.

ON TOPIC:

Wether in bits and pieces, or in whole,a body, once belonging to a person should be treated with dignity. Wether it gets buried like a whole person, or not, it should NOT be disposed of with other waste, should NOT end up in landfill. There must be a better, more legitimate way of disposing of these things.

according to biblical texts, when christ died, there was a massive earthquake due to the prior dead rising from their graves (that's alot of displaced earth), and that this would happen again when christ returns. lots of displaced earth=earthquakes, water=tsunami (depending of course, on how many bodies were tossed in)

absolutly disgusting and as a serving soldier its bad when even i realise ur only a number dead or alive

Ah, yes, the 60,000 killed in an underground bunker explosion. Sorry, got a source for that claim?

Riigghhtt.

Now, time to be a good example and move out and draw fire.

What are "portions" of troop remains? Like limbs and chunks?

That's what the hospitals do with amputations. You dont get to take it home with you in a little plastic treasure chest like a pulled tooth.

We put too much emotion in remains as it is. Kneeling and weeping for hours while the shell of your loved one rots into a putrid semi-solid six feet below you.

Just a small part of the cultural denying of reality that keeps us all passive and chained.
