Sure, we Texans can trust the military!
Live anthrax inadvertently shipped by U.S. military
Four lab workers in the United States and up to 22 overseas have been put in post-exposure treatment after the U.S. military inadvertently shipped live anthrax samples via FedEx, a defense official told CNN.

Maybe they meant to ship it to the Texas State Guard?

So BiT- were you really trying to say this incident makes the fact that many Texans bought into the idea the Operation Jade Helm was a secret plot to take over the Southwestern US less batshit crazy?
Because it really doesn't.

No. I realize this is apples to those fish.
Just more proof to those that trust everything to the government that they shouldn't.

Change "government" to "humans" and you have a point.
The government isn't any less trustworthy in managing complex processes than private industries are.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yep, look at the number of people who kill other people in accidents. That far exceeds the number of war dead.
