Nope, the word I've seen the most used in the news is that launch "failed". Huge show of force yesterday with the parade through Pyongyang, everyone making GBS threads their pants about a new tube-launched ballistic missile that no one knew about, and it turns out it was exactly as effectual as everything else NK does.

Yes in the sense that it would have landed in the ocean at the end of the test anyway.

No in the sense that, according to what I've read, it scattered itself in every direction shortly after liftoff.

I think there should be a horror/sci-fi movie where everything North Korea's been doing has been on purpose because they're keeping portals closed/keeping some HP Lovecraft type monsters from coming out into the real world. Kind of like how in Hobgoblins the old security guard was keeping everyone, including new security guards from the film vault, where the hobgoblins lives, so that they wouldn't accidentally get out and get people killed. Everyone thought the old guy was crazy with his stories until one of the new guards accidentally went back there and let them loose.

High level OSI guy did some bad stuff. Falsified travel vouchers wasn't flying close enough to the sun for him so he decided to really go for it. He was wrangling the Air Force into paying for his wedding venue under the pretense that it was an official function. Demanded the hotel provide security and tax exempt status to his guests, and threatened to use his position to blacklist the hotel if he didn't get his way.

True. I kinda keep it impartial by saying which one are typical for a deployment, which are exceptional, and which are fake.

Most don't lie and as long as they have real achievements listed aside from military awards, I don't poo poo on them.

IIRC he was attending some boot camp graduation or something. I didn't get the impression that he was trying to scam free lunch at Applebee's or anything, he seemed completely bugnuts. He also died a while back, presumably not from old age.
