A US air force civilian contractor had become disoriented recording data at an airport in California last year when she walked into a jet’s rotating propeller and was killed, officials said on Friday.

In a statement outlining the findings of a report into the contractor’s death, the air force materiel command said that 32-year-old Stephanie Cosme was mortally injured on 7 September when she inadvertently walked into the rotating propeller of an MQ-9A that was parked at Gray Butte airfield.

      You should maybe read up a little on this concept called “war” and what happens to civilians in those situations. It ain’t pretty and it’s the reason why countries have militaries. Yeah, I’d love to dump the military too, like everyone, but then second you do, your loved one would -indeed- likely be raped by invading enemies.
