File this under, “No way in hell this is either understandable or excusable”.
I’m glad these these problems are being corrected but I’m sickened by the unnecessary publicity.
From previous reports the incompetents running Arlington were using a card file to manage burials that was obsolete when Eisenhower was President. My bet is that those in charge of Arlington were political patronage positions who operated with no oversight. This recent revelation of 8 sets of remains being buried in a single grave was a deliberate act and those responsible should be sacked immediately.
This is beyond pathetic...
Urns discarded in landfills.
Multiple bodies in graves.
Bodies missing from graves.
Headstones discarded in the bottom of a stream.
Other headstones missing.
Bodies buried in incorrect plots.
No accurate records.
Sexual harassment of employees.
Malicious firings of whistleblowers.
Illegal invasions of personnel files.
Rumored misappropriations of funds.
They need to be stripped of their pensions and spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail.
There’s a lot to be angry about when one looks at the antics of our government.
But nothing makes my blood boil more than reading about this travesty, and I’m sure we don’t know the half of it.
It’s bad enough that incompetence is the m.o. of most government functions, but the idea that those entrusted with this sacred responsibility...I just don’t have the words. It physically sickens me that this the best we can do for our fallen heros while the traitors in our ranks live in the lap of luxury at our expense.
f'ing disgusting, pathetic and dishonorable thing that these punks have done to our men. I'd love to jack them up against the wall and kick the cr#p out of all of those fat lazy bast@rds.
The supervisor needs to be fired and pension taken as well as whoever was "in charge". Gawd, I'm p#ssed. Just thanks for getting my blood pressure up.
Did anyone check Arch Stanton’s grave to the right? /levity as a tension breaker for a very serious issue
Just out of curiosity, how can you positively identify cremated remains?
