Pet Crematoriums Used for U.S. Troops?

The Chimperator and his Pentagon minions talk adnauseum about "supporting the troops" even though their actions are not consistent with such lip service. After all, under Chimpy and Emperor Cheney the troops (i) have not received adequate equipment and body armor, (ii) have received substandard medical care for long term recovery from horrific wounds - thinkk moldy rooms at Walter Reed - (iii) receive little or no mental health care for recovery from the horrors they have seen, hence the out of control suicide rate, and (iv) are subjected to repeated re-deplyments that places almost unbearable stress on them and their familiees. But it seems that the Chimperator's regime has reached a new low: pet crematoriums may have been used for fallen U.S. troops. So reports the Huffington Post. WTF is wrong with the voters who continue to support this incompetent, criminal regime? They worry about flag lapel pins, yet this disgrace is OK? Here are highlights from HP:
*
The Pentagon is recommending changes in the handling of troops' remains, after it was revealed that a crematorium contracted by the military handles both human and animal cremations. A military official said there have been no instances or charges that human and pet remains were mixed. [My Comment: does anyone seriously trust anything these folks say? After all, they sold us lies about WMD's in Iraq]
*
Defense Secretary Robert Gates believed the earlier situation was "insensitive and entirely inappropriate for the dignified treatment of our fallen," said Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell. "Our heroes deserve to be better treated than that," Morrell said
*
Morrell said there is "absolutely no evidence whatsoever at this point that any human remains were at all ever mistreated, or ever not cremated where they were supposed to be cremated. That said, the secretary believes that is it inappropriate, even if permissible under the rules and regulations, to cremate our fallen, our heroes, in a facility that also cremates pets."
