Title: Bush Admin. Cremates Fallen U.S. Troops with Animal Remains !
Post by: Neurotoxin on May 10, 2008, 05:56:35 AM

The Pentagon is recommending changes in the handling of troops' remains, after it was revealed that a crematorium contracted by the military handles both human and animal cremations.  >:(

Defense Secretary Robert Gates believed the situation was "insensitive and entirely inappropriate for the dignified treatment of our fallen,"  >:( said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell.

"Our heroes deserve to be better treated than that," Morrell said, adding that a sign at one of the crematoriums noted that it also does pet cremations. He said Gates offered an apology to military families for the insensitivity  >:(

Get a fucking grip of yourselves. It's not as if they are being put in the incinerator at the sametime as Mr Tiddles, is it? They had separate incinerators for pets and humans.

Bush bad, blah, blah, blah...

It's probably a cost saving meausure to help offset the loss of revenue from the Bush Tax cuts.
