Comment on Second US Navy jet is lost at sea from Truman aircraft carrier
kbotc@lemmy.world 4 days agoThe guy in charge was promoted to rear admiral late last year, was put in command in late February.
The real issue, though, is what the fuck is a CVN doing that close to the launchers.
You have a ship full of planes. Keep it away from shore and have the planes drop bombs and cruise missiles from far away, or better yet, use the B2s on Diego Garcia, or just the airfield at Al Udeid is right there if we could just ask Saudi Arabia nicely to use their airspace, but no the Fox News Drunk needs his “show of force” to be scary so it has to be visible from shore.

And that idiot thinks scary is a bunch of ships off your shore like it’s WWII, and not unseen death from above by an enemy you cannot attack or anticipate, all brought to you by a partnership of your neighbor countries.
