Federal investigators said Tuesday they uncovered “gross mismanagement” at the Dover Air Force Base mortuary that cares for America’s war dead after whistleblowers reported horror stories of lost body parts, shoddy inventory controls and lax supervision.
Three civilian whistleblowers who work in the mortuary filed complaints last year alleging 14 specific instances of wrongdoing by their supervisors, from endangering public health to losing a dead soldier’s ankle to sawing off a deceased Marine’s arm bone without informing his family.
Col. Robert H. Edmondson, who served as mortuary commander from January 2009 to October 2010, was issued a letter of reprimand for “failure in leadership” – usually a career-ending punishment for a military officer.
So this is also Obama's fault? really stretching it aren't ya. Looks like the problem has been taken care of to. Were you this outraged when the Bush administration let Walter Reed fall in to such disrepair that our injured troops were living with mold and cockroaches?
Who sent the federal investigators? Mr Rogers? Willie Wonka?
Where have you been living all your life? Check what was done with dead soldiers bodies during the Viet Nam war.
Do you think confusion and mismanagement of American dead soldiers' bodies is something new? Try a yes or no answer to that one.
The "Federal investigators" who uncovered the mismanagement are part of the administration and the military man who commanded the mortuary was punished via the chain of command that the President heads.
So you are either nonsensically damning the Obama administration for both the mismanagement and fixing the problem.

Reason: rude
Well, it seems the incompetent (obama) who had in place the incompetent (the guy in charge of war dead) has not fired this guy.
Oh, it took WHISTLE BLOWERS to uncover the scandal, NOT the obama administration.

As usual, you didn't READ the WaPo (a right-wing rag) article. Whistle blowers.
Oh, another thing, just as it was true with Bush, anything that happens under this administration is ultimately the credit, blame and responsibility of the disaster in the WH.

So you are either nonsensically damning the Obama administration for both the mismanagement and fixing the problem, or you just started another dumb troll thread. Which is it?
I know, I know!!!
All of the above.
This was a terrible situation that now, thanks to the diligence of the current administration, seems to have been rectified and put right.
Thanks OP for sharing another positive accomplishment of the Obama administration.

Yes. That scandal was brought to the public's attention by the Washington Post.
For the Op to declare the mismanagement of dead soldiers' bodies by Obama as "America's worst mistake" is merely an opinion.

Sadly, this is not isolated. There have been a significant number of instances where our deceased heros have been buried in the wrong graves as well.
