Army investigators on Friday blamed a one-star general who now works at Aberdeen Proving Ground and 11 other people for management failures they say contributed to the accidental shipment of live anthrax to labs around the globe over several years.

Army investigators who reviewed Dugway Proving Ground in Utah wrote that Brig. Gen. William E. King IV perpetuated a "complacent atmosphere" when he commanded the lab at the installation. Workers at Dugway mistakenly shipped live anthrax to 194 other labs in the United States and overseas, including to Aberdeen Proving Ground and other sites in Maryland.

No mention in the article of the mode of shipment or whether commercial parcel delivery services were used.

Seems to be a lot of this going around. Anthrax in the Army, failure to control nukes in the Air Force.

The feminized, homosexualized Department of Defense has set up the wrong priorities.
