I hope you're vaccinated against it.

It appears that the DEI hires took all the brakes with them when they were fired.
"Terrible president. Low energy. Low approval ratings. Did you know he lost to Dewey? That election was STOLEN! And he FIRED the Great AMERICAN HERO MacArthur! Many people are saying the worst president ever."
Sikorsky helicopter=$21 million
F/A-18 planes $+/-$70 ea=$140M
Lives lost=priceless
So DUI Hegseth can get a military parade launched for little flaccid Donny.
Oh…..
THAT’s where he is!
When the arresting hooks/wires fail, there's not much you can do beyond try to get the bird back in the sky, or eject.
They chose to eject, which means they had no shot of getting back airborne.
He’s giving them away.
That’s why he had to have an insecure device running insecure apps & communicating through an insecure line
the reason is he can pretend he’s not hacked when he facilitated that himself when he ordered the loosening of counterespionage
Oscar Wilde (kind of)
Looks like a pattern from the guy who specifically uses insecure devices with insecure apps in an insecure line he had installed at the Pentagon

Fraud (Hegseth)
Waste (2 fighter jets at the bottom of the ocean)
Abuse (Trump not giving a shit and paying no political price)
The F/A-18 Hornet first flew in November 1978, and entered operational service with the US Marine Corps in 1983 and the US Navy in 1984. The F/A-18A/B models entered operational service in October 1983, while the C/D models followed in September 1987.
Vance either directly approved or did a bullfighter's ole. Nudge-nudge-wink-wink.
They lost one to friendly fire from the Gettysburg 4 months ago.
The cost of 1 plane can cost between $50 to $120 million each, depending on armament options.
Then approximately $22,000 to $25,000 per flight HOUR.
If I were an F/A-18, I'd throw myself overboard too.
Stolen Valor Act of 2013
Amends federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service. hegseth was a simpleton in "national guard" and did not see any action - was guarding latrines

Is the weather horrible? Hi gh winds, etc.
Is the carrier attempting to evade an attack?
Is it human error?
Too many in our nation have voluntarily lost touch with reality
I’m just glad the pilots and the carriers crew are safe, and I hope the events are not repeated
This American exceptionalism so impressive right now, so proud to have become a citizen last April 😂
Hope they fish them out.
and nobody’s lost their job yet?
Although you should be tying down a/c on deck in hostile waters. Sloppy
Anyway, that’s $160m we will all pay for…
That suddenly the personnel on an aircraft carrier forgot how to secure a jet, or that Kegseth keeps sharing mission critical intel on an insecure device running an insecure app over an insecure connection?
Without words . . .

My mother told me never to utter it. She's been gone since 1991. Out of respect to her I am abiding by her admonition.
That's the kind of person I am.
He is not a noble human being.
