Yea i think its just horrible how them Army and Navy and Marine folk treat their toys. We kept ours in nice neat dry tubes under the ground. None of that messy wire stuff either. Just 2 little keys to turn and people see fireworks like they never have before just prior to the start of the next stone age.
Please the Air Force was just as bad if not worse. The boys on the flight line and choppers took far better care of the bird than they did of the bombs and bullets. I had them send back to us 2.5 in rockets they dropped while loading and broke. They then stacked them in an open crate behind the hanger until it was full and then shipped it back to us. Fun and joy as they never bothered to remove the detonators or put safety pins back. Does that sound like the AF was better?
That was flight line people, lower class folks of course. Missile crews were the top dogs. "accidents are caused therefore are preventable". Yea you don't know its a damn accident till its over idiots.

One day my roommate wanted to borrow my truck for something.
I pointed out that he didn't have a current license, and my insurance might cut up stroppy should he be in an accident.
He allowed as how he'd never had an accident in twenty some years since he got his license.
I looked at him and said "Bill - there's a reason they don't call them purposes."

This reminds me of the oft-seen scene in movies (and cartoons, I think), where the platoon leader asks for a volunteer, and everyone moves one step
back except one, who now looks like he just did indeed volunteer...

Goldsboro crash came disturbingly close to nuking a significant chunk of the Eastern Seaboard, and perhaps rendering Washington D.C. uninhabitable for quite some time.
That would be redundant - the Washington DC government and the federal government are doing a fine job of rendering that area uninhabitable.
