They neglect to tell you in the story that the pilot had a acute case of myocrditis right after he "called the ball" upon apporach, and did whatever he could just to bring it down even though the tower waved him off.

Also, apparently he said, "fucking vaccine" over the radio while trying to put his plane down during a heart attack. He received his booster shot just 3 days prior to this flight.

This sounds ridiculous enough to be 100% true.

Trying to find the sauce, but it was "doctor from the Carl Vinson who wished to remain nameless"

Funny that in 🤡 🌎 it could equally be a 4chan larp or a true story

Here is the article I read. No way to know how much is the truth.

Yeah, except that he is a she. The first female F35 pilot. So your source is just telling you what you want to hear.

Not our latest cup holder technology which was installed on that particular aircraft!

Yeah.
The US Navy is so fail that back in the 80s when I turned 18 and went into the recruitment office, they turned me down! Guess I was insufficiently faggy or something.

So I started my own navy, but we've had just as many sea battles as the US Navy since then, so... yeah. But shooting shit from the taffrail in international waters is fun, so I guess we have 'training'!

How do I sign up? Do I get to shoot at niggers?

Well you know what they say about the navy.

Thirty men go in, fifteen couples come out.

Aww, so romantic!

It's the uniform. Any man that can keep a white suit clean has to have a little sugar in his tank

Navy switched to submarine and aircraft carriers - technology driven and dependent ships.

Not sure how knowing how to get the wind gauge and approach in proper battle line is going to help against Russia or china.

A bigger concern is that in lieu of developing modern medium to light artillery, we focused on air power, which, if it came to a ground war, will decimate our troops due to the gap of deficiency of our artillery to Russian.
