From The Washington Post
File this one under: Bureaucracy, the Fate Worse Than Death.Last month, Gen. Peter Schoomaker, the Army's chief of staff, joked about getting a notice from the military that declared him dead. The mix-up arose after he came out of retirement last summer to take the job and was dropped from the retirement payroll; the accounting staff figured he'd expired. Now, we hear, the Army's top man in uniform has encountered trouble with the active payroll, too.
"He may or may not have gotten his pay," an Army spokesman told us yesterday.
Fouled up records? So, can he prove he served? Or was he... AWOL?
President Bush will likely get this straightened out right away. He knows how important good record keeping can be.
