Yes, we must save our war money for extremely expensive fighter jets that keep falling in the ocean for some reason

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

There's a very clear reason why both those jets fell into the ocean and it's disingenuous to pretend like there's no reason.

The crew wants to get out of the AO before it gets hot and high profile losses are a great way to get called back to port.
