EP-3's Real Mission

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sources inside the Pentagon revealed today that the Navy EP-3 was not on a surveillance mission but instead was flying an emergency supply mission. Chinese aircraft were actually escorting the EP-3 into Chinese airspace when the accident occurred. The EP-3 was tasked to pickup an emergency supply of black berets ordered by Chief of Staff of the Army General Eric K. Shinseki. The EP-3 was in-flight to a Chinese military run beret factory when the incident occured. The black berets have been in short supply since the General Shinseki issued orders allowing all Army personnel to wear the black beret. So short, it has forced Army Rangers to begin wearing tan berets in lieu of the traditional black beret. Official sources will not comment on the story.
