Army Apologizes for Hurtful Message to Survivors

It was an error on the part of a CONTRACTOR (prints letters) not a MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (guardin of the USA). The Army is taking responsibility as it outsourced the service to the contractor.
In the Army, unlike the civilian sector, one is taught to seek responsibility and take responsibility for ones actions. You have demonstrated the opposite by using your mouth to incorrectly blame the Army and [incorrectly] correlate two totally independent activities (again your claim that printing by a contractor and defence of the country by a soldier are related).

In this case I think it might be correct to blame the computer. This is the down side of computer automation. We send more and more things to automation that were at one time done with a personal touch. This is one of those times when the trade off was not positive.

How more idiotic can it get?? Have people become so mechanical that they did not notice a grave error like this one?
I'm sure their eye for detail will guard our country!
