Oh I know it. I sometimes think it’s made “cool” and “healthy” just to help undermine Western Christian culture.

It’s just that Oriental spiritualism is given special honor as people get into all that yoga and tai chi and other nonsense. Never mind the “alternative” medicine of a acupuncture and other garbage. They’re so wise!

Yet Christian practices are mocked. Hypocrites.

**FOD**

A common term back in the USAF, (1966-1970) for an item that can cause “Foreign Object Damage”.

Discarded safety wire, trash, anything that could get sucked into an aircraft engine.

“Foreign Object Disposal” in the Air Force (which could include EOD sniping the objects off the runway to make it safe).

Coulda been worse

The ground crew may have had to fish around for some Wang in the engine.

He had to pay for the damage somehow!

Don’t make fun of the name Wang.
I had a very good urologist named Dr Wang.
Truth.

Yep and something of value has to be tossed into the engine for it to work.

Yep. I remember daily walkdowns of the ramps and flight deck looking for any little scrap of wire or nut or bolt that could FOD an engine.

Everyone knows that all cultures are equal...

Head choppers, coin tossers, Latin Mass...
