| Army: No Event, Person, Group 'Directly Responsible' for Anthrax Shipments Mistake |
| 2016-01-18 |
| [PJMedia] An Army investigation into mistaken shipments of live anthrax around the globe found no one specifically to blame for the mishandling of the deadly bacteria, but revealed even more samples in storage that weren't inactive as believed. Officials on the "Investigation into the Inadvertent Shipment of Live Anthrax Spores to a Number of Laboratory and Abroad From Dugway Proving Ground" briefed reporters on their findings today at the Pentagon. In early 2015, the lab in Utah sent live anthrax -- the samples were supposed to be inactive -- to 194 labs in 50 states and nine foreign countries. Could have been a systems error. Fixing responsibility is so 'old school.' Can't we just move along. |

| #6 Someone should serve jail time or at the very least have their career in ruins to send a message that some things are sort of important. |

| #5 At its base, this has the same root cause as most of this country's troubles in 2016. Fear of creating an environment where the guaranteed income might be removed. And the willingness to suspend responsible and honest behavior to make sure the anxiety of losing your magic check can never become a reality. |

| #4 United States v. Hayes, 71 M.J. 112 (the elements of Article 92(3), UCMJ, dereliction of duty, are as follows: (1) that the accused had certain duties, (2) that the accused knew or reasonably should have known of the duties, and (3) that the accused was willfully, or through neglect or culpable inefficiency, derelict in the performance of those duties). People just don't read stuff anymore, like the Constitution, or the Uniform Code of Military Justice. |
