Thanks for posting.
How did this happen?
“Hellfire and Javelin warheads”
Take that Putin, our warhead are so good they blow up even BEFORE leaving the factory!!!!
circle back re: camden
I do suspect this accident is similar to other munitions-related accidents where pretty much all safety protocols are tossed aside in favor of increased production levels as it’s much cheaper to do that, rather than properly expand the facilities.
You are probably right.
Dunno. I could speculate one of the 9 million unvetted illegal aliens that crossed biden's lack of border was/is a saboteur...
...But that would be silly!
You are probably right.
Still, I wonder...
That is what I am thinking, some sort of terrorism, some dude hired that didn’t pass a security check.
We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they conduct their investigation.” china’s illegal border crossers
The company did not provide details on the extent of the injuries. The state Department of Emergency Management said it was monitoring and stood ready to assist but did not provide additional details.
One patient was treated at the Ouachita County Medical Center’s emergency room and is stable, said Diane Isaacs, the hospital’s risk manager. Another patient was flown out of the state by helicopter, she said.

DEI, meth head
“You are probably right.”
Think about it from the standpoint of the factory manager. The poor guy, probably with decades of experience in safely delivering missiles to the US military is now likely getting daily (or more than daily) calls from hormone-raging women and gays in the White House DEMANDING that he double or triple production in order for them ‘stick it to the Putin’, since Putin represents to them the manliness that their “partners” cannot even come close to.
So what does he do? First, up the orders to China for their components (and prays they come in on time), but then he has to hire new people and he finds that, rather than the skilled workers being available, as one would find in Japan, Russia, China, and North Korea, all he has to choose from is a bunch of tattoo’d meth-heads...but you take what you can get, and now we see the results.
“DEI, meth head”
I suspect they waived the DEI requirement, but there’s no way to avoid the meth heads.
Count their teeth, look for scratches on their face, do drug tests.
Of course, the local labor pool may be saturated with them...
“Of course, the local labor pool may be saturated with them”
That was my point - going on a mad dash to take over the world requires at least TINY BIT of planning on the home front. Something that I see ZERO evidence of being done.
Could be, or a DEI hire, but I suspect BobL is closer to the truth in Post #6.
There are almost an infinite number of possibilities as an answer to this question.
We don't know anything, yet the agenda driven speculation on this thread is rampant.
Russian infiltrators, no doubt. That’s what I am going with before we have any information. ha ha.
