...... senior military people are worthless politicians and yes men.

The actor Guy Pearce lost his Dad (a test pilot) in one when he was very young...

GAF was also responsible for the wings coming off a Macchi killing a pilot in the early 1990s. Senior military initially tried to blame the pilot for breaking the spar until it was discovered that the weakness originated from inaccurately hand drilled (yes with a hand drill by an unskilled employee) spar holes.
