curmugeon | God Damn the Pentagon (Reply)

In the ultimate act of disrespect to the fallen soldier, the Pentagon had to admit it did not inspect the crematory where a few hundred soldiers were cremated after their processing at Dover Delaware. The crematory was located at a pet crematorium, yes a pet crematorium, not at a funeral home. Is this an example of how much respect this new volunteer military has for those who give all for their country? Those families deserved better, and now deserve a personal apology from George W. Bush himself. Let him tell those parents and loved ones how such a thing could happen and who will be held responsible for such an act of disrespect. How much money did the Pentagon save? Was this the case of some political hack running the program? Who awarded this contract and was this a case of dereliction of duty? We all need answers, whether we support or oppose this war. As a veteran, I'm outraged. The Bush regime has had no respect for the soldier since day one.
