      First reporting on this had it as Kuwait shooting them down, but it was us.

      Totally not indicative of gross incompetence or anything.

      Edit: I see now. Article conflicts with its own title.

      The editor messed up this headline. The three planes were shot down by Kuwaiti Air defense, which the article states. But whoever wrote the article headline apparently didn’t read the article.

      Still a huge number caused by lack of communication and preparation that would allow for deconstruction and avoiding these types of mistakes. Thankfully none of the crew died because Hegseth didn’t properly prepare for this type of combined operation.

      I shouldn’t be laughing about, but this Operation Epic FAIL. Holy goddamn hell on this Earth.

      The post title is misleading, but the article is framing the Kuwaiti friendly fire claim as speculative, implying that it was possibly Iran that shot them down.

      If you get rid of the smartest people in the room, you’re inevitably left with the dumbest. What an embarrassment. Knuckledraggers with slicked back hair dictating our foreign policy and murdering people. Fucking embarrassing doesn’t do it enough justice. I hope one day as a nation we wake up and they see inside a courtroom long enough that they’re escorted to their jail cell. War pigs.

      War fighters don’t have time to check on who they’re shooting, that would make them homosexual and woke!

      making a 100 million doller mistake is crazy. Making a 100 million doller mistake 3 times is a row is art.

      Wait, wasn’t this Kuwait? Seems like they’re pushing propaganda because this simply isn’t true.

      Important note: The title say’s „it’s own fighter jets“, implying US forces shot down US jets. However, the article itself says (emphasis mine):

      “At 11:03 p.m. ET, March 1, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident. During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones—t**he U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses**,” CENTCOM wrote in a statement. “All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.”

      I assume their explanation would be that they are allied forces and on the same team, but the general reader is likely to confuse that with the other explanation.

      Please remember to read articles.

      Damn the mods left the friendly fire on. They must be as sick of this game as I am.

      It’s a major war organized and led by the dumbest laziest motherfuckers we’ve ever had. Or will be done badly, end badly, and have repercussions for generations.
