Today, safety is considered to be of highest importance in most societies. In the context of the military, safety is essential to averting loss of life and damage to a high value asset. While safety may take second place to winning a war its importance is further accentuated because of its connotation to battlefield readiness. Widespread Fatigue Damage (WFD) was discovered in 'weep holes' of fuel tanks of some C-l4l military transport airplanes. Because of the loss of minimum residual strength, with the attendant risk of catastrophic fracture posed by WFD, the entire fleet had to be grounded and an expensive refurbishment program had to be undertaken before the fleet was deemed to be airworthy.
