Anyone handling ordinance deserves our earnest prayers.  A minor mistake
can be costly.

I recall that in WW II, the allies were dropping bombs designed to take out
extremely hardened targets.  These bombs, perhaps one to an heavy-bomber
aircraft were known as cookies.  In one instance, it was surmised that an
error was made while loading a cookie, and the result was we lost several
aircraft, hangars and surroundings.  A truly major debacle.  Yes, these
guys need our prayers.
