FUBAR

Tennessee sends their best:
In an interview on Fox Business News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Ogles to react to the tragedy as a House Homeland Security Committee member. 
"Well, you know, at this time, you hate to jump to any conclusions," Ogles said. "Obviously, we'll look at everything, check all the boxes." 
"Prayers go out to all those impacted," he continued. "But, you know, to your point, I think you have to look at this with eyes wide open, see what happened. You know, human error, was it some sort of equipment failure? Did DEI play a role in this type of thing?"
Is DEI in the room with you right now?

During World War II problems with aircraft were blamed on gremlins (the things you can learn from Bugs Bunny cartoons!). That was the polite WW II era way of saying “Shit happens.” The slightly less polite euphemisms were acronyms freely available to all: SNAFU (Situation Normal All Fucked Up), and FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair). These were ground-level explanations, never used by command.
SNAFU You mean like this?
FUBAR
