I just heard the DOD has been cremating soldiers. |
|
Any truth to that? :shrug:
Anyone have any additional info? :shrug:
Needless to say, I'm pretty upset about this latest hearsay. ;(

I haven't heard of it but maybe the soldiers requested it? They do sign a last will and wishes plan before they deploy but I don't know if the military is cremating them just because they want to or find it more convenient than shipping the body home.

5. No. This involves a 'truth-telling' soldier reporting on cremations,... |
|
,...from what I understand.
Sounds rather horrific,...but, I haven't all the facts.
All I heard is that the pentagon is trying to "get ahead" of the facts, ur, uh,...story.

7. So, is the DoD doing this to "get ahead" on a soldier's story about cremations of a fellow,... |
|
,...soldier(s)?
:shrug:
I mean, it's not like cremation is a new idea proposed (particularly where biological/chemical weapons may be involved).

8. It has to do with the crematorium doing both animal and human |

remains.
UGH..I can't believe they weren't aware of this before.
