A vile disgrace. These people should be shot.

Pretty sad when the government can’t even run a cemetery right!

One of the reasons more vets can't be buried at Arlington is the failure to conserve space ~ certainly being buried in a group grave has been the fate of vast numbers of American soldiers, so why is there a problem with the guys who simply managed to live longer?

Some of the more popular grave sites around the country have gone over entirely to the Columbarium system (cremation followed by having a box of your ashes placed in something that looks like a wall).

There are undoubtedly some out there who would object on the grounds of "respect" or "aesthetics", but even the Saints in Rome saw their bones piled up in catacombs!

Dead is dead!

Will Obama be fired for not showing up on Memorial Day?

Both Metzler and Higgenbotham have come under heavy criticism for not creating a computer database of gravesites. Records of the hundreds of thousands buried at Arlington National are still kept in paper files.

Paper files?

According to the Marine Times article cited in the posted MSNBC article, a disgruntled ex-employee with 2.5 months of service and her lawyer have succeded in bringing down the top management of ANC in disgrace. Be sure to read the Marine Times article.

More than 300,000 people are buried in an area of 624 acres. The first soldier to be buried in Arlington was Private William Henry Christman of Pennsylvania on May 13, 1864. It should come as a surprise to nobody that some errors have occurred over the ages.

Salon.com (far left-wing site) made a stink about this last year in a series of articles I posted on FR here:

The MSNBC article bears remarkable resemblance to last year's Salon.com third installment in its assault on ANC:
