The bodies of 211 military personnel at Arlington National Cemetary were misidentified or misplaced. How in hades does the even the most incompetent US civil servant misplace a body?

According to NBC News, which first reported the firings, both Metzler and Higgenbotham had come under heavy fire for keeping records of the hundreds of thousands buried at Arlington National in paper files instead of creating a computer database of gravesites.
Officials told NBC News that over the past couple of years, some of the 300,000 graves at Arlington were improperly marked and in some cases bodies were buried in the wrong graves.
In 2008, a master sergeant was buried on top of a staff sergeant already in the grave, but the error wasn't discovered until the widow of the first service member complained to authorities that someone else's headstone had been placed on her husband's grave, NBC News reported.
