Doofus Of The Day
Bayou Renaissance Man: Today’s award goes to the US Army servicemen who were supposed to prepare vehicles for an air drop in Germany.
During a recent training exercise in Hohenfels, Germany, this month, soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade practiced launching equipment from the rear of C-130 transport aircraft. Somehow, during the course of the drops, three Humvees managed to lose their parachutes, hurtling to the ground at high velocity. read more
Dayuumm!
Probably a couple cross dressers worried about breaking a nail.
One time is bad luck. Three ain’t.
be all that you can be … in Obama’s Military
….destroying the USA … even if it takes one vehicle at a time
maybe have the riggers ride down with the hummers?
Don’t tell me the riggers were female? Please!
They used to say only fools and bird shit drop outta the sky. Now they can add Hummers!
This happened in Germany. Too bad they missed the “refugee” camp.
GI Jane Doh!
“One time is bad luck”. Three is bloody incompetency!!
Meanwhile hundreds of brand new MRAPS are waiting to be cut up into scrap in Afghanistan.
Drop in the bucket compared to the 2,300 Humvees, 40 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, 52 M198 howitzer mobile gun systems, 74,000 machine guns, and other equipment lost to ISIS by turning it over to the Iraqi Army.
Can you say more than $656.4 million dollars worth of armaments, kiddies?

Vietvet, someone has to supply the JV team.
I believe that was part of Title IX…
O forfooksake. Two State of the Art Navy boats captured by the iranians, our sailors humiliated. Now the Army drops three Humvees and smash the shit out of them. WTF? Maybe we should have more girls in the services. They are much more careful with things, as you all well know.
@Vietvet, Obama bin Biden’s idea of Affirmative Active for Moslems.
@Uncle Al, exactly my thoughts.
The guys who prepped these were named Larry, Curly and Mohammed
Years ago I was a wargame “umpire” assessing units of the 82nd. I was on the ground as they masstac’ed into a DZ at Ft. Devens. Watched both a M551 Sheridan light tank and a Gama Goat burn in from around 1100 feet. What a hell of a mess. Parts and pieces everywhere. When they hit shit flew everywhere. I couldn’t help but laugh. Some parachute riggers ass was in a big sling over that one.

Parachute Packers Prayer. WW11 I think.
Why did they not suspend operations after the first failure?

Obama’s affirmative action army: male, enlisted, white dude responsible; throw the book at him-he’s out; all others, oops.
