The men and women serving in uniform kick all kinds of butt, not only because they’re the select few souls willing to actually put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that American’s hold dear, but because they’re endlessly good sports when it comes to dealing with the fools who order them around. I mean, it’s no secret that the people who oversee our armed forces are largely dill holes. They misspend, they make stupid errors, and they demonstrate little to no regard for the citizens working on the ground. Year after year, these same people continue to shoot themselves in the foot, only to have their blunders broadcast on the evening news. 2015, sadly, was no different.
1. What? Anthrax Isn’t So Bad
Let’s start with anthrax. In May, the Department of Defense somehow mistakenly sent samples of live anthrax to more than 50 labs in 17 states and three other countries. More than 20 military personnel were exposed to the virus, but fortunately no one was injured. Good news for the DoD, though. Most people forgot about the story once it turned out no one got sick, so the government agency didn’t really feel the need to do anything to correct the issue. Anthrax … coming to a lab near you (whether you asked for it or not)!
