This kind of stuff happens during war. We should be on guard.

One of our F-35s got hit over Iran. Thank God the pilot is safe. Those planes cost $100 million. USS Gerald Ford had a huge fire a week ago that took 30 hours to put out. That's the type of thing that happens when you're deployed for twice the length you're supposed to be. Israel is running our military into the ground for their wars. All of the bullshitters in DC told us that this war would be easy, quick and cheap. Now, they're asking for $200 billion. Let alone all the cost of all our downed planes (five now), higher gas prices we all have to pay, and most importantly, our fallen soldiers (at least 13 now). Are we sure Israel is our ally? Or do they view us as an easy mark. Our system allows for legalized bribery, so they did the logic thing and bought all our politicians. And then our media tells us that our politicians are too honorable to be affected by hundreds of millions of dollars from the Israeli lobby. Hilarious. They seem to have us on lock down. Funny thing for an ally to do.
