This is just another example of how disrespectful this administration is towards Americans and our soldiers. Here is a headline which caught my eye on CNN.com/US: ‘Pet crematorium’ complaint leads to Pentagon change

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Military cremation procedures have been changed after a soldier complained that his buddy’s remains were taken to what appeared to be a “pet crematorium,” the Pentagon announced Friday.

It makes me sad to think of how families of soldiers who died in combat and chose to be cremated must feel after hearing this news. Like my son, many soldiers should they be killed during deployment in combat choose cremation prior to being deployed. They do this to spare loved ones being told they can not see their soldier due to the horrific nature of the wounds sustained when they were killed. Americans should be outraged over this insensitive and disrespectful treatment of our fallen soldiers.
