Jeezus! They even fucked up mail call.

It seems that the was one more part of Walter Reed Army Medical Center that could be fucked up, and they did.
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.

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 almost 6 p.m. today. The release was titled, “Army takes immediate action to deliver backlogged mail.”

According to the press release, Maj. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, commander of the medical center, ordered “immediate counting, sorting and delivery of the mail, and relieved the contract-employee mail clerk of duties.”
"contract-employee mail clerk" No word yet if he worked for Halliburton. Those still in the hospital will get their mail this evening and those in other locations will get a letter of apology from the General with their mail. Experts consulted for this post suggest that the Army won't go much lower than this but caution against being overly optimistic.
