IG report criticizes former Wounded Warrior Care director

The former director of the Pentagon’s Wounded Warrior Care and Transition Policy Office bullied and verbally abused employees, calling some stupid and referring to others as idiots, liars and criminals behind their backs, according to an Inspector General’s investigation.

Philip A. Burdette — who left the position in March 2013 — also misused official time, rental vehicles, TDY schedules and expenses, and he improperly tried to use his influence on behalf of a subcontractor, according to the report, which was concluded in October 2013 but was not released until Monday, in redacted form.

The report recommended corrective action against Burdette. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to questions as to whether or what type of actions were taken in the year since the report was issued. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported last week that the Pentagon confirmed Burdette was transferred to the position of special adviser to the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, where he remains.

In a review of Burdette’s general attendance for work, the report concluded, “We found Mr. Burdette did not routinely work eight hours per duty day, yet he recorded eight hours duty for pay purposes.”

“Further, Mr. Campbell was unable to explain Mr. Burdette’s extensive Pentagon absences.”
