The US Air Force dumped the cremated, partial remains of at least 274 troops in a landfill before halting the secretive practice in 2008, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The procedure was never formally authorized or disclosed to senior Pentagon officials, who conducted a review of the cremation policies of Dover Air Base -- the main point of entry for US war dead -- in 2008, the Post said.
An additional group of 1,762 remains -- which could not undergo DNA testing because they were badly damaged or burned -- were also disposed of in this manner, the Post said, citing the Air Force.

Pardon my rant in your thread but I just can't understand this. We send our brothers and sisters to war to kill our brother and sisters in other nations. We all know why now, we know that our friends and family are put in the line of fire so that the military industrial complex can just get fatter and richer, we know they are sent to clear the path so that McDonalds and Monsanto can poison more people. They die for profit and now we see they are treated in death as they were in life...like dirt, literal dirt. FU whoever ordered this and FU whoever condoned it, you disgust me.You vile corrupted pigs who don't deserve to be called human.
