This is what happens when serving in the military is so deadly and unappealing that only the desperate are willing to enlist. It’s called gross incompetence and it is by no means unique to U.S. military personnel. In civilian circles, however, the afflicted are kept far clear of heavy machinery and, well, nuclear warheads.

Air force officials have reassured the public that there was “minimal risk to crews and the public because of safety features designed into the munitions.” Ooh boy, do I feel better now!
Dare I ask who was in charge of maintaining these safety features?
In any case, it’s a good thing we’re safe from all those evil-doers, right?

Yeah. Incompetence. Right.
Hi Marco Polo,
Very interesting link about the use of incompetence as a cover up for doing evil. I guess I’m just not sure I see the connection here. I mean, I completely agree that too many intentional misappropriations of resources and vanished expense reports are conveniently chalked up to incompetence, but I’m not sure anyone gained from the major brain fart in this case. Am I missing something?
