This is what months of sitting there with a target on your back will do: mistakes.

Two US Navy pilots ejected safely after their fighter jet was shot down over the Red Sea on Saturday in an apparent friendly fire incident, US Central Command said in a statement.

The pilots were recovered, and one of the crew members sustained minor injuries, according to initial assessments.

The aircraft, an F/A-18, was operating from the USS Harry S. Truman when it was “mistakenly fired” upon by the USS Gettysburg, CENTCOM said. The USS Gettysburg, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, is part of the Truman carrier strike group, which entered the waters of the Middle East one week ago.


The Red Sea mission has been classical Biden/Obama foreign policy: flex a bit, act and talk tough, but apply just enough force to not make the other side mad. Meanwhile, they get to take shot after shot at the Navy with no real cost.

The solution? Load up and blast the sh1t out of the Houthis and kill enough of the Iranian missile operators such that they find better things to do with their time.
