Help name a $100 billion tanker "Mr. Oily Pants"
Noah Shachtman of Wired says:
My submission is "Mr. Oily Pants." Vote for your pick or submit your own name here.
In February, the Air Force picked the European consortium EADS and its American partners, Northrop Grumman, to build a badly needed new fleet of tanker aircraft. Boeing, the losing team, and its pals in Congress are trying to overturn to decision, which could be worth as much as $100 billion. But the Air Force is already looking ahead. The service is asking for names for the new tanker, the KC-45A.
Theoretically, the contest is only open to "active duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen, as well as Air Force government civilians," who can submit their suggestions to namethetanker@pentagon.af.mil. But we know that Air Force bigwigs read Danger Room with alarming regularity. So get your names in before the May 30th deadline -- or vote on the ones you think are the best.

A US company is selling shoddy ammunition to the Afghanistan government
Shoddy might be generous:
The company is run by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur. Link.
Much of the ammunition comes from the aging stockpiles of the old Communist bloc, including stockpiles that the State Department and NATO have determined to be unreliable and obsolete, and have spent millions of dollars to have destroyed.
In purchasing munitions, the contractor has also worked with middlemen and a shell company on a federal list of entities suspected of illegal arms trafficking.
Moreover, tens of millions of the rifle and machine-gun cartridges were manufactured in China, making their procurement a possible violation of American law. The company’s president, Efraim E. Diveroli, was also secretly recorded in a conversation that suggested corruption in his company’s purchase of more than 100 million aging rounds in Albania, according to audio files of the conversation.
The company is run by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur. Link.
