THE REMAINS OF HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN TROOPS HAVE BEEN DUMPED

THE REMAINS OF HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN TROOPS HAVE BEEN DUMPED IN A VIRGINIA LANDFILL

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.


The Air Force had maintained that it could not estimate how many troops might have had their remains sent to a landfill. The practice was revealed last month by The Washington Post, which was able to document a single case of a soldier whose partial remains were sent to the King George County landfill in Virginia. The new data, for the first time, show the scope of what has become an embarrassing episode for vaunted Dover Air Base, the main port of entry for America's war dead.
The landfill disposals were never formally authorized under military policies or regulations. They also were not disclosed to senior Pentagon officials who conducted a high-level review of cremation policies at the Dover mortuary in 2008, records show.


Air Force and Pentagon officials said last month that determining how many remains went to the landfill would require searching through the records of more than 6,300 troops whose remains have passed through the mortuary since 2001.

Bush said that no one can take pictures of our soldiers flag draped coffins returning from Dover.

I wonder if they are bringing the heroin back from Afghanistan in coffins as has been alleged during the Vietnam war.
