RE: Congress OK's Big John Decom

Never understood failing an inspection. No matter the service, or level of inspection.

Standards are published, you know what you need to do... whether it's your uniform, weapon, or unit (ship, too), then you know what you have to do.

How do you fail?

Plus, as birds go into phase, etc, they're taken down......
