2 days ago (5/06), The US SecDef, Gates fired two of his senior members. They were fired because 2 humiliating incident related to military defense. It happened in last 6 months. The first case was US bomber B-52 transport 6 live nuclear warhead nukes accross the American airspace and sending missile warhead batteries to Taiwan. The last thing is Taiwan actually ordered the Cobra helicopters equipment replacement. Even Chinese hadn’t related to this matter, they are very angry to this mistake.
Both the 2 senior members are Michael Wynne, Air Force minister and Michael Mosely, Air Force chief in command.
