This

Yikes, the two recent loses of jets are not the only US Navy-related incidents.

*In December, the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg mistakenly shot down an F/A-18 after ships earlier shot down multiple Houthi drones and an anti-ship cruise missile launched by the rebels. Both aviators in that incident also survived.

*And in February, the Truman collided with a merchant vessel near Port Said, Egypt.

I guess we didn't get rid of all the DEIs handling the jet?

Not to mention all of the expensive drones that DUI hire Hegseth allowed to fly in range of Houthi air defenses, only to end up getting shot down.

How many planes fell off of carriers before Trump came into office?

This is what Grok answered:

Below is a summary of documented incidents where aircraft fell off or were lost overboard from US Navy ships, including dates and key details:

October 26, 1966 – USS Oriskany: Fire on carrier led to aircraft damage; possible overboard losses during chaos. 44 deaths, 156 injuries.

July 29, 1967 – USS Forrestal: Fire caused by rocket ignition damaged/destroyed 21 aircraft; some possibly lost overboard. 134 deaths, 161 injuries.

January 24, 2022 – USS Carl Vinson: F-35C crashed on landing and fell into South China Sea. 1 aircraft lost, 7 injuries, ~$100 million.

A crash landing is a little different than an unsecured plan falling off the ship, which is what happened the first time. What happened yesterday is somewhere in between a crash and an unsecured plane falling off a carrier.

This didn’t happen when the woke people were in charge.

DUI hire happened.

$120 million falls into the sea in one week. Unbelievable.

They got rid of DEI and put a bunch of mediocre white guys in charge. That is what is going on.

What is going on?

Does the DOD really deserve extra funds if they can't responsibly care for these megamillion dollar planes? That's the second in a week
