Air Force mishandled remains of war dead, probe finds
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.
The former mortuary commander and two other senior officials have been disciplined — but not fired — in response to separate investigations conducted by the Air Force Inspector General, the Secretary of the Air Force and the Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency that also received the whistleblower complaints.
I’m glad something is being done about it. I can’t understand of the mentality of those with this sober and important job in half-assing it.
