Why do they have to lie about it? Why don't they just say, "None a yer damn business"?
Good question. I would say because their computers were hacked, specifically the anti-ship missile tech including launch capabilities. My guess is they were scrambling to get the USS Essex to launch and evade.
Next time you have a choice, buy American and don't send any more overseas than we already do!
Good idea.
Think......Trident Missile D5. Notice the date, notice the misspelled words. Notice the date of the missile photo. Coincidence? ................Think logically.
@realDonaldTrump Following Following @realDonaldTrump More The fact that I am having a meeting is a major loss for the U.S., say the haters & losers. We have our hostages, testing, research and all missle launches have stoped, and these pundits, who have called me wrong from the beginning, have nothing else they can say! We will be fine!
One of my older brothers was 12 years (enlisted) in the AF - mostly in Minuteman program.
One month, he sent us a clipping that he had made "airman of the month" with no explanation in the clipping, or from him.
Years later he told me the story- they were doing a simulation launch one day and at 3 seconds and counting, he looked over at the board and everything was green.
He did a flying launch himself across the board, hitting every switch he could in passsing, preventing an actual launch.
If true, there had to have been multiple failures in the equipment/ safeguards/procedure, I would think. To err is human.....
And mechanicals/electricals have been known to bleep up a time or two...
I will ask the Nephew tonight when he and the family drive over for a few days vacation. He lives on Whidbey, is a retired Navy guy. In fact his Vap shop is right next to the back gate to the base, he makes a lot of $$ off the Navy guys with the habit and keeps up on the "scuttlebutt".
From the Nephew:
This is a 20 minute time lapse photo gents: Likely sun reflection off a silver airplane or the canopy on a F18.
