Reporting from Washington — The Army has misidentified the graves of some of the war dead buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and in least one case buried the body of one service member on top of another, Defense officials disclosed Thursday.
Army Secretary John McHugh has ousted the cemetery’s superintendent and his deputy in the wake of a Pentagon inspector general’s report highlighting the mismanagement, poor record keeping and other problems at the cemetery, one of the government’s most venerated memorials.
It was not clear whether the Army has been able to correct the problems at the cemetery, or if there continue to be a number of graves that remain mismarked.
