Obviously it has anti-government, anti-military undertones. I firmly support my country, my military, and my government (that's one reason I still live here. Canada and Mexico are pretty close those that don't) so I doubt i'm going to read the full thing, or even think to deeply into it. you can't seriously support our government do you? Unless you support the lies the government pretends to be... | ||

So because some contractors decide not to show respect to dead American soldiers, that automatically disqualifies anyone ever to respect people serving in the American army..? Even if this was sanctioned by the army itself, it means fuckall about the pride and honor of serving for your country. | ||

This is about US army as a whole, the way it is viewed by society and portrayed in the media, about the concept of "patriotism" and what you really get in return. This is about how an absolute piece of shit entity that has no regard for human sacrifice is being treated like a sanctuary and a proponent of everything just and fair. I don't understand how you fail to see a problem with this. | ||

I feel like im going insane watching one after the other dump their posts with no more understanding then reading the utterly false title. I swear, if i open a thread on TL titled "China invades the US" the majority of the posts will be from posters thinking it's real because they read the title. | ||

If you want to show your respect or come to piece with the death, you can do it in any ritual way you wish, but why do you need to have the actual body? It is just an empty piece of decaying flesh. haha guess how our civilization started or the easiest way to judge a civilization is the way they handle their dead. | ||

OP is so biased and sensationalist it is ridiculous. The bumper sticker's say "Support our Troops" not "Support our Government's bad decisions". Anyone willing to get shot at so I can sit here and read this silly OP is deserving of my support. The title of the OP should be changed to "remains" not bodies. That in itself is very misleading. They are not dumping soldier's bodies in a big hole filled with Hot Pocket wrappers. Most of the soldier's already had funerals where their family was able to grieve. Empty casket funerals happen a lot when the cause of death is "Directly hit by an RPG after vehicle was disabled by roadside bomb". Not much of body left to bury in some cases. After they remove what they can of the body, and they happen to find a finger in the hummer when cleaning it out later, it gets put into a medical waste area to be identified (if it can be). At some point this finger was cremated (which in itself is a ceremony, maybe not religious but a ceremony). After this, the remaining bone fragments and ashes are FURTHER incinerated. They then ask the family "Do you want these ashes of ashes of a finger we think might have belonged to your husband/brother/son?" and the family says NO. Why? Because they already had a funeral and said their goodbyes. They have grieved. Put this shit in to context so it doesn't seem so absurd. And honestly, on a forum with so may self proclaimed atheist, wtf do you guys care about some dead dudes finger? Not like he needs it. | ||

In practice it's landfill but you take the trouble to show a little respect. Then the thread would be titled "US Military Dumps Bodies into Mass Grave". Im sure people would still have a problem with dumping a pile of random body parts/ashes into a big hole somewhere. | ||

I don't understand how you fail to see a problem with this. You are so biased and full of angst you are using a semi-related (albeit somewhat disturbing) news item just to lambaste another issue because it's convenient. | ||

You are talking to the OP, I assume he read more than the title. But considering how it was written, It's not surprising he is talking about his personal view in such a extremist way. | ||
