I think that “federal Employees” is the wrong choice of words.
Do these people have unions ? Are they so lost in paperwork that they can never get fired ? That’s the problem.
And where we see the future problem of healthcare, insurance, the auto industry, or anything else Obama takes over is not that the people working in the positions are “Stupid”, it’s that they exist in a land where a free market certainly does not.
They don’t acheive because they don’t have to. This is CERTAINLY not the spirit of the U.S. Armed Forces, but it certainly IS the spirit of the disenchanted civilian.
Why succeed when there is no promotion in line, or that promotion will come to you with no efforts ?
If there is a union behind this, it must be dissolved. Along with any other union.
Arlington should be run by a soldier with a combat patch on his shoulder. Arlington should be run by someone who has buddies buried beneath its sod. Arlington should be run by someone who has solidarity and fidelity with the dead and the cause of liberty for which they fought and died.Amen.
There are places in our society and in our government where things must be above reproach. Where we all feel welcome and confident, where things don’t go wrong and they get it right because their consciences demand it of them.
Government continues to prove the value of EEOC hiring.
All the words and comments I can come up with seem inadequate to express my disgust, horror and incredible grief about this.
Tremendously disgraceful and disrespectful to the entire USA.
G*D help us-please.

How long has this been going on? Not one whistleblower over the years??? Outrageous. He should not be allowed to collect his pension. It’s so shameful. Makes my heart weep for these warriors & their families. He & all those who knew what was going on should go to jail.
I have been there a few times. I have to agree with how the author characterizes this most sacred place. When I walk through there, I feel like the place has a spirit. There is more there than just the breeze. It is very moving and humbling.
That said, I can’t fathom someone not respecting it enough to keep the records straight.
yup they want to run healtcare or maybe we should start calling it deathcare because there is no way to pay for it..as for the lazy creeps who did this..I think we should call for them to lose all benefits..they did not earn them.
I think this problem is more than just a couple years old, don’t you?

Prior to this disgrace I wondered how the bodies are kept in the correct grave at the Los Angeles National Cemetery while they do work. There are wood partitions so that the public doesn’t see the work. The grave stones are taken up in some instances, and there is a backhoe present, so....If it can happen at Arlington, then it can happen anywhere.
