 Anyone seen missing F-16 engines from an Israeli airbase? Anyone?
45 mins ago Hey, dude, where's our state-of-the-art fighter-jet engine? That's what Israeli government officials are probably asking — in the unlikely scenario they’re big Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott fans — after it was reported that several F-16 fighter-jet engines had gone missing from an unspecified military airbase in central Israel. The engines are believed to have been stolen and sold as scrap metal, possibly with the help of insiders. Given that the engines weigh more than 3,700 pounds, it's hard to believe that no one noticed them leaving the premises. Unless the guards on patrol at the time were watching an Ashton Kutcher movie. That's always distracting

People steal shit.  Israelis are people.  Somebody in security wasn't doing his job or was paid off not to do it.

Just a little embarrassing for the base commander and his 'former' chief of security.  :mental:
