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. Nor was the dumping ever disclosed to the families of the fallen troops, who had authorized the military to dispose of the remains in a respectful and dignified manner, the Post said, citing Air Force officials. The newspaper quoted officials as saying that a precise count of the remains disposed of at a Virginia landfill would require searching through the records of 6,300 troops whose remains have passed through Dover since 2001.
hmm..should have let the families know first before they did anything
in a few cases,after an IED attack body parts are not found and sometimes some body parts are so messed up they had to amputate so they could have a open casket funeral
i was tasked to help clean an US army humvee that was hit by a 200kg IED.still gives me chills

5.56 has a high tendency of deflection when it hits curved laminated windshileds unless you shoot it at a 90 degree angle.bullet deflection is a problem for all calibres but 5.56 deflect the most
plus,5.56 will yaw and fragment after it hits a barrier thus a lower wound capability.i hope LEOs don't just have the standard NATO SS109
my philosophy is 'shoot it enough,it will die' so its good ******************************
in my current state of inebriation the info provided above may be true but it may be total BS

Take a look at this video. They are mostly armed with MP5's. Try to count how many shots were fired. Take note that only one round actually hit the suspect.
Now, that is only a car windshield. Glasses on an airplane are much, much thicker.
both 5.56 and 9mm are weak against intermediate barriers
solution:shoot the F'er at the same point of aim until rounds get through

on another note,the TOW canister bags are perfect for storing pringles and candy during harsh winter FTXs,as long as the officahs dont find out that you swapped the missiles for candy
