I just read a short news article about a pilot from the Thai Air Force. He went out flying is helicopter and decided to land in the jungle, leave his aircraft, and go collect some mushrooms for his mother ( I suspect the food kind of mushrooms not the hallucinogenic kind). He probably would have got away with it too had some pesky villagers not came to see what was going on, and when they found no pilot called the police. The article said he was on suspension, but I can only imagine what would have happened had a member of the US forces done such a thing. It would probably start with a suspension and end the career. It is impressive how dumb people can be sometimes… it is even more amazing how dumb people can be all the time.

Wow, that's pretty dumb. I can think of nothing good that comes out of leaving your helicopter in the jungle. I was expecting someone to die in your story.
I have to admit..that sounds like something I would do. Picking mushrooms.. Seriously, if you completely ignore all the negatives, it's really quite hilarious. I can picture him frolicking with a straw hat and a basket! Hahaha, oh man.
In all seriousness though, that seems like a wonderful waste of Air Force funding, and he probably should get more than the slap-on-the-wrist of a suspension.
This is very true. Do you ever wonder if people think you are dumb? I do, maybe I'm just dumb.. or was that a dumb thing to say? lol yeah..
