    These things happen. My father served on a CV long ago, and he claimed that they pushed several aircraft over the side if they were deemed unreparable out of ship resources.

    EDIT: Also, I think that’s the first Houthi kill of an F-18.

      In that case, we should bill the Israelis for the cost, since they’re who the Houthis are pissed off at.

    I’m sure the “waste, fraud, and abuse” folks will be all over this one, and not ignore it because WFA is just a thin pretext for gutting social services
