The Military Times reported this incident was due to negligence and not fraud:
By the way have any of you guys ever tried to prove a fraud case in Court? It's extremely difficult. I have no doubt that tons of negligent acts are being confused with fraud. When you get to Court the task of trying to prove fraud is a very very heavy burden. Conspiracy theories unsupported by evidence of fraudulent intent usually sail out of court on a motion for summary judgment.
