Not only has the air force had lost and mishandled the remains of hundreds of fallen troops (dumping ashes of U.S. Soldiers in land fills) but now another photo has come out with a group of airmen standing around an open casket like the ones used to transport soldiers home in and written on the bottom is “Da Dumpt, Da Dumpt …. Sucks 2 Be U”. No one seems to know what the intent of the photo was but it has upset quite a few people.

That's horrible! My father was in the Air Force, and I would be mortified if they had done that to his body. No one deserves that. If they served their country well, and they did what they had to do and gave their lives for people, then they deserve a proper burial or cremation, and their ashes should be in an urn or spread in a dignified manner. That just disgraceful!

The article appeared on Yahoo and they are saying its a class picture as they had just graduated basic. I don't know maybe this is just to divert attention from the other things but honestly it doesn't seem like they take their job too seriously. Maybe it was intended as harmless fun but really one of them (especially the NCO's) should of thought twice before doing it.
