If you want a good laugh, read some of the articles on The European Union Times website.

Have read the article some more and from what I know about foreing affairs I can only say..its nothing but a fairy tale.

Imagine the outcome IF this should be true.

From Dowly's link above all I can tell is that a US Navy Captain (a woman in charge of the US Navy Prowler E-6 planes) out of Tinker Airforce Base in Oklahoma has been fired or dismissed for not wanting to tell the submarines when it's time to go to war.


But this is an even bigger story that gets swept away from never knowing why: http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=85812

Quote:
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (NNS) -- The commanding officer (CO) of the Pearl Harbor-based fast attack submarine USS Mississippi (SSN 782) was relieved of his duties Feb. 27 due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.
That was just 22 days ago ...

Been thinking..haven't The US-military forces some kind of back-ups in case of break in chain of command, like the story in the first article ?
