Scot Blames Top Brass, Demands Inquiry

BRIESK - In a speech before a crowd of evening commuters, Conservative Austi Scot criticized the Armed Services' top brass for today's fighter jet crash. Scot accused the military of losing sight of its chief mission - the protection of Morovia's digital assets - and questioned why an aircraft went up without proper maintenance in the first place.

"I sincerely hope no one was hurt in the lost of that jet," Scot said, "but I can understand why we aren’t paying for maintenance, we don’t really use them. If we do pay for anything it sounds like we should find a private sector maintenace company."

Demanding a Royal Assembly inquiry, he went on,
"What General let that one go up? Who is this spokes person for the military giving reports to the newspapers anyways? ... Who knows what State secrets might be given away?"

In October, the Armed Services requested the allocation of 4 billion morovs in order to maintain its "operational capacity." All three political parties have said they would not honor the Armed Services' request in full, but pledged to meet with the top brass and approve a compromise budget.

A spokesperson at the Octagon refused journalists request for comment.
