You’re not wrong. For the moment. I think they’ll find it. If, for example, it went into Lake Moultrie, the wreckage area wouldn’t be apparent.
And again, historically, there have been a number of military aircraft lost, even in peace time, and never, even to this day, found.
And there was, of course, that Malaysian Airlines flight to China, flight MH370, which had 239 people on board, that disappeared and has never been found.
Whether that makes the US Military incompetent is debatable. I have thought numerous times, over my long career, that they were!
I have certainly seen some crazy stuff! Consider the word FUBAR is a US military acronym, after all.
An old boss decades ago taught me the meaning of FUBAR. He served in the Army during the Korean War and was based in Alaska. A most decent gentleman.
This is what shook my confidence:
“The public is asked to cooperate with military and civilian authorities as the effort continues,” the base added.
Anyone with information about the jet’s whereabouts is urged to contact JB Charleston Base Defense Operations Center at….”
The Military has to depend on us civilians? I am not comfortable with this. That is all I meant with my comment.
Do I HAVE to say it?
