It isn't the "never screwed up" part which is the problem. It is
the detail that we rarely, if ever, hear of a GovEmp who got fired
because he screwed up.

Then again, the percentage of private employees that are fired for a
single screw up is likely not all that high, either. Long-term
incompetence often exists there as well as I've observed from nearly 50
years experience.

The VA thingie is going to catch out quite a few, I suspect, having
already started w/ the head guy effectively fired by being pressured to
point of having to resign.

There's at least a reasonable likelihood of some civil and criminal
charges arising out of this mess going forward methinks, as well.
