FUBAR, or SNAFU? Always wondered.

FUBAR -- fudged-up beyond all recognition. We used to describe injuries and/or burn patients as such.

SNAFU -- situation normal, all fudged up.




To answer, I'd have to say FUBAR is worse than SNAFU. Unless a SNAFU leads to a FUBAR. Then, whoever created the SNAFU is SOOL because they have to answer for both.

Snafu often used in USAF to describe mission parameters.

Fubar is outcome, based on ignoring said parameters.

FUBAR is always much more serious than SNAFU but both can be devastating if the folks involved forgot to CYA

I have saved my share of lives and put out more fires then I can remember during my five years of rescue service. Most of the time a SNAFU is the least of your worries. Yea once a week I am the CF team leader. Most of the time we are in a CJ mode anyway.
