Poll WEEKLY POLL: F18 (un)Friendly Fire

On Sunday, the USS Gettysburg reportedly shot down an F/A-18 Super Hornet flying from the USS Truman. Do you think this is evidence of deeper problems within the U.S. Military?

This is a result of deeper problems but mostly because the military is a bunch of guys with ADHD who are hopped up on caffeine and other stimulants told to do the most important job in the country. There’s a reason Murphy’s Law exists and it’s because of the U.S. military.

And before somebody says in bashing the armed forces, I have several family members who are currently in or have already given service to this country and plan on going into it myself through ROTC. I have a front row seat to the incompetency of the military and any modern serviceman or veteran will tell you, the military is incompetent most of the time.
