Over here, you find that articles such as these are written by very junior Airmen who have a poor grasp of a) grammar, b) spelling and c) current affairs. Most of the words outside quotations come from the authority of Google. All in the name of keeping the troops 'informed'. To be fair, they have to come up with enough local bull**** to fill a newspaper every week, and that's a lot of articles to author.

Like the media airman who wrote enthusiastically about the 'VC10 Javelin'. When I tried to find out where she had found this blatanly made-up information, I put in VC10 into US Air Force Google search (yes, they have their own Google search engine), and the first hit was VC10 Javelin.... The link took you to an article on the BAe VC10 Javelin maintainence contract, but she never got that far. Must have been a tight deadline.

"Would you like to know more..."
