First, I would have to say that the Federal Government is embodied in its employees. That being the case, I would say it admits this routinely. My experience is narrow but when military aircraft crash and civilians are injured, investigations are reported and culpability assigned.
You seem to have a somewhat jaded view of government...what did they ever do to you? I assume (from your profile page comments) that you are a retiree? If so, save me a spot on the first tee in about 10 years.
…and if they seated you at a green felt covered table without an ashtray in front of you, you were in a heap of trouble.
