Too Long. Way, way too long.
Read on....
The Army News reports:
Army officials scrambled to deliver thousands of undelivered letters and packages – some with postal dates from May 2006 – addressed to soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.And now for the understatement of the week:
Though the backlog was discovered in the hospital’s brigade combat center last week, Army leadership did not announce its efforts to correct the situation until issuing a press release at almost 6 p.m. EST Friday. The release was titled, “Army takes immediate action to deliver backlogged mail.”
Army spokesman Paul Boyce said late Friday that the backlog piled to some 4,500 pieces of mail because the contract employee mail clerk could not locate the soldiers or staff members to whom they were addressed, and instead left them in the mail room without further processing....
“'That was not satisfactory,' said Boyce."Incompetence, thy name is Bush. This is yet one more example of the utter failure of the Bush government on every level and issue. Our braggart "War President" not only led us into an illegal war and resulting miasma -- he can't even assure a wounded soldier at Walter Reed that he'll get his mail within a year of when it was sent. How pitiful is that?
