Most people have read or heard about Heath Warner who was exhumed by his parents at Arlington<\/a> to verify his identification. His father was able to confirm that Heath’s remains were in the proper grave by his tattoo. A less-often told story<\/a> happened a few weeks back at Arlington.<\/p>\n

After a report issued in June found that the problems could potentially affect thousands of graves, defense officials received about 1,100 calls from worried families.<\/p>\n

One of those calls, from the widow of an Army staff sergeant, led to the exhumation of her husband’s casket late last month. The remains in it belonged to someone else, so officials opened a nearby grave and found the woman’s husband, said Gary Tallman, an Army spokesman.<\/p>\n

“The families are satisfied that the problem was fixed,” Tallman said Wednesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Total incompetence. There’s no other way to describe the incident. I doubt the families are all that satisfied. It’s not like the two soldiers were interred at the same time or anything. They’re not like bricks stacked upon the ground and someone just tosses it in a nearby grave. There’s a record of the chain of custody – everyone in that chain at Arlington needs to be roasted over a slow fire in public.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> writes;<\/p>\n

Tallman declined to explain how the mix-up occurred. In the four months since the report was released, the Army has also declined to make Army Secretary John McHugh or Kathryn Condon, who was appointed to fix the problems at Arlington, available for an interview. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Horse. Shit. They’re not part of some imperial court – they’re public servants. If they’re not willing to answer questions, they need to be fired. Period. A journalist with a pair of ‘nads would demand the chain of custody record and publish the names so we can alert the Pitchfork Mob.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
