  1. Every Time an F 35 crashed means another 100 million US Tax Payers money down the drain.
    Ground Crews should Double check the aircraft before it even leaves the ground
    100 Million USD us hell a lot of Money wasted.
    The IRGC is already bleeding the US Military by targeting All US Military Bases in The Gukf Countries.
    If this continues, US Forces will be forced to leave All the Middle East Bases.. because it means the Arabs cannot guarantee a 100 % security guarantee with US Military Bases in their country.
    But instead their countries are becoming a precision Shooting range for the IRGC.
    The US Treasury cannot sustain this in the long run..
    as the US Military presence in The Indo Pacific to deter China,
    and in The Middle East to keep Iran in Check ✅
    from having a Nuclear bomb.
    While the US Military us busy in Iran.
    China is flexing it's muscle in Asia , harassing The Philippines and Japan
    both US allies.
    Just remember The US Navy abd Military needs to sails thousand if mihes to reach any flash point.
    Abd all of this Costs The US Treasury a heavy burden.

  2. The fact he immediately blamed a crash on mechanical failure putting countless maintenance technicians at blame shows fractured integrity as a military leader.

    This isn't a swashbuckler playground, it's supposed to be a well organized system working together for national defense.

  3. After a close examination I have determined that they built the ground way to close to both of these air craft! Would some one please get just one thing right once in a while! This kind of stuff drives me to drink and you must know it’s a short drive!

  4. Fighter pilots who experienced emergencies like this eventually become the very best pilots. It gives them the experience to think under pressure in an instant when everything is at stake

  5. Yeah, I'm another one who's here to laugh at a news outlet not being able to spell correctly in a headline. I'm not going to watch, though, broadcast news is low signal to noise.

  6. Civilian DEI hiring policies have impacted so many things in the military and government that need to be addressed and changed, you don’t hire people to fill a quota, you hire people who can do the job correctly and safely not because of the color of their skin or their gender, I’m glad that when I was in the military in the mid 80’s we only got promoted if you earned it, not just because of your skin color or gender, if you can’t do the job properly either quit and go try something else or maybe you could study harder and try harder to get a promotion, hard work is what our country was built upon 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

  7. yet they deny deny deny F35s shot down the other day by Iran. Maybe they where not. Maybe as the guy says it happens there been quite a few in USA F35s crash or fly off and the pilot had to eject . I think the answer is when you buy a insanely expensive complex Computer filled craft your going to have bad stuff happen . the more complex anything is be it a toaster old school or one with electronics timers and sensors in it I know which one will last the longest.

  8. CORE? I remember when news media hired people who were literate scholars who were skilled writers.
    Anyway, glad the pilot is ok- aviation is inherently a dangerous thing and the F35 is a cruel and unpredictable mistress.
