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.

I encourage you to reread everything…
This was not a disrespectful action from this administration, it was a non-caring, disrespectful act from the Funeral Home. They sent the service men to the cheaper pet crematorium.
People sould be calling for the closure of their facilities…
SHAME ON THEM! How dare they disrespect our troops! If this is a political staement, then it has gone too far! If it was only for money, then they should lose the opportunity to make money from their funeral homes! I say close them down!

That piece of sh*t Bush and his administration sent them to Afghanistan and Iraq, and should be held accountable. If it happened on their watch, then they are responsible for the actions of subordinates including the handling of our fallen soldiers and the disrespect they have given them.
