Controversial Air Force casket photo prompts investigation

The Air Force has launched an investigation into a controversial photo
that shows several non-commissioned officers posing with an open casket,
in which a fellow airman poses with a noose around his neck and chains
over his body.

The Air Force Times received a copy of the photo over email, which
includes the caption, "Da Dumpt, Da Dumpt …. Sucks 2 Be U." The casket
is similar to those used to transport deceased U.S. soldiers home from
the battlefield.

Air Force Secretary Michael Donley told the paper that investigators
were mounting an inquiry of the grief the image might cause for families
of fallen service members. "We take this matter seriously. [Air
Education and Training Command] has initiated a commander directed
investigation," Donley said in a statement.

"Such behavior is not consistent with our core values, and it is not
representative of the Airmen I know. It saddens me that this may cause
additional grief to the families of our fallen warriors."

The photo, dated August 23rd, was reportedly taken by airmen with the
345th Training Squadron at Fort Lee, Virginia, according to Gerry
Proctor, spokesman for the 37th Training Group at Lackland Air Force
Base in Texas, which includes the 345th Training Squadron.

First appearing on facebook in early October, the image has since been forwarded by several individuals, including a former soldier and Army spouse.

The investigation by the commander of the 37th Training Group is
expected to take about two weeks, according to David Smith, a spokesman
for AETC at Randolph Air Force Base, Tex.
