Exactly. With the budget cuts, they had to choose between losing a nuclear submarine, or losing other projects.
As you say, they chose.
And god forbid the military has to choose. we should just give the military a blank check and a direct link to the American people's taxable income. All of our money should go to the military, right?
No union involved here. He was a civilian employee, a painter. He set fire within the sub because he wanted to knock off work, early. It took 100 firefighters 12 hours to put the fire out. 17 people were injured.
Oh, NOW you've done it. Destroyed their little "union goon" fantasies. Never mind, there will still be a dozen posts after this ranting about union goons as if you never posted.
Scrapping a Sub.., what would be cool is a watch company picking up some of that material and making some watch cases from it, like the SINN watch company did with some German scrap steel. I'd be in for one.
