READER ROBERT MOUNCE wonders why no one has mentioned terrorism with regard to this incident of sabotage at Camp LeJeune, in which parachute lines were stealthily cut:

The inspections determined the suspension lines had been severed on the 13 affected main parachutes in such a manner that pre-jump inspections would not detect any signs of tampering," according to a statement from Camp Lejeune.

All parachutes were being re-inspected at the base before further jumps.

Yeah. On the other hand, if this is the worst they can do. . . .

UPDATE: Donald Sensing doubts that terrorism is involved here.
