Air Force dumped ashes of more troops’ remains in Va. landfill than acknowledged - The Washington Post
The Air Force dumped the incinerated partial remains of at least 274 American troops in a Virginia landfill, far more than the military had acknowledged, before halting the secretive practice three years ago, records show.
The landfill dumping was concealed from families who had authorized the military to dispose of the remains in a dignified and respectful manner, Air Force officials said. There are no plans, they said, to alert those families now.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS
Even if worse came to worst, hold a Veterans' Day service each year and dispose of the ashes or bury them together, but dumping them in a landfill?
I wouldn't even do that to a serial killer, I'd just cremate him and dump the ashes to the winds.
Someone needs to go to jail.
