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.
Another term that means the same as FUBAR is cluster #$$@, sometimes, in polite company, just cluster. Cluster is a military slang term, referring to a situation, where multiple things had gone off the rail, presumed to be the responsibility of inept officers, who are decorated with oak leaf clusters. Sometimes we say Charlie Foxtrot. Used more today than FUBAR.
But I understand what you’re saying. If it happens more than once, I will be uncomfortable, too.
