Remember the incident above? I never said it outloud but one failure during a heavy drop like that would have been considered acceptable. Leadership wouldn't even look that carefully at such an occurrence. But three?
That's just not explainable unless the system is fundamentally flawed (which it isn't because the other successful drops proves it works).
So what did Big Army do?
Big Army was gonna run this to ground.
Big Army was looking for a dick and balls to nail to the wall.
If you don't know, let me explain it to you. Big ARMY does not play (and Big Marine Corps will rape you with a cactus so this isn't service specific)!
WTF am I talking about? via Sputnik.
A US Army sergeant has been charged for his involvement in the remarkable destruction of three combat vehicles that plunged to Earth last year during a parachute drop in Germany, a service spokesperson said on Tuesday.I know what you're thinking. Thats bad but not that bad right? Wrong. Check this part out.
Maj. Juan Martinez, spokesman for the 173rd Airborne Brigade, said that Sgt. John Skipper of the 1st Battalion, 91st Cavalry Regiment was charged in May with destruction of government property and falsifying an official statement.
There is also a pending recommendation on whether to move with forward with a court martial following an Article 32 probable cause hearing. Stars and Stripes quoted Martinez saying in a statement,"Should this case progress, we will continue to release information consistent with Army policy."Story here.
I'm sensing pissed off paratroop that had an oh shit moment and is now about to pay the piper.
Moral of the story?
You can fuck with many people (usually up to Colonel rank) but after that you're fighting a system. You crash a Humvee on purpose and you just poked the biggest, greenest, most huge dicked bear on the planet and he will have his due.
Long story short to my readers in the Army?
Don't poke the big green bear.
