The Navy does this sometimes, but the remains go into the ocean. Since it's the air force they should be shot into the sky. Just put all the ashes into a bunch of big ass cannons.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;33633958]I have massive respect for the troops, but it's still just a heap of dead matter. What's more important is focusing efforts on the living veterans and troops than on the dead ones. It's a tragedy for any serviceman to die, but their body is just a dead body. Pay your respects through memory. Again, it is 100% wrong to defend the Airforce's action in this case because they lied to the families. I'm not arguing that, I'm arguing that people take the remains of the dead too seriously. Perhaps that's too big of a tangent for the scope of this thread.[/QUOTE] To you, it may just be a dead body, but to their families, it's the only remains they have left of their son, brother, or dad. Their remains shouldn't be tossed into a landfill, thats just fucked up beyond belief. Having the airforce to take the time to cremate them, and dump them in the ocean or another respectful spot isn't going to waste billions of dollars, and nobody is going to loose their life over it. If they took the remains and just dumped them without cremating them into the ocean, it wouldn't be as big a deal, but they threw their cremated remains in a landfill. A place reserved for trash. The men that did this are scum.
