I have thought some about the helicopter which failed to return from the Bin Laden mission. Here we had a very expensive and sophisticated piece of equipment which was left to fall into the hands of our enemies. Through reverse engineering China probably managed to recover information which took the US billions to produce. This information in the hands of China is not a good thing and has allowed China to bypass lengthy and costly procedures our scientists and engineers struggled for years to obtain. A piece of the crashed helicopter left fairly intact was all it took for China with the help of our supposed allies, the Pakistanis, to gather up the tail of this helicopter just as a tow truck would pick up an illegally parked car.
This is not something unexpected. Surely the military knows planes and helicopters have a history of failure and in a war zone there is that little problem of missiles and rockets and things that go Boom! For the life of me I cannot understand how they have allowed this to happen again with this latest incident of a drone falling into the hands of our enemies. Imagine the ability of a country to operate an aircraft halfway around the world. Here they are able to take pictures to take video and spy on the enemy allowing us to save lives and prevent tragedy without endangering the life of a pilot. That is a great and wonderful advancement and has been a tremendous help in our struggles to bring an end to this war we fight in Afghanistan.
So the drone falls to the ground. UH-OH. Lays there for anyone to come along take and take it apart, reverse engineer, and then do with the remainder of the craft as they wish. We sit half way around the world with a joy stick in our hand and worry in our minds. Hey people! Bubba's got an idea. How bout lets stick an old fashioned stick of dynamite in that sum bitch with a few old-fashioned matches that would strike on impact? Surely to hell if you can fly this damn thing from half way round the world, I be damned if you can't figure out some way to blow that sum'bitch to smither-eens on impact. Come on guys wake the hell up. Hell, hire Bubba he can figger this one out.
