The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Amazingly bad comment.

Especially after 3-ish days of thousands of sorties, complete destruction of IrN’s air defense system, ruination of its Navy and Air Force plus a complete decapitation if its leadership structure.


That’s simply a horseshit excuse, Dope, and you know it.

When was the last time we lost three fighter jets in one day to friendly fire?

Unless it turns out Kuwaiti AA batteries were manned by Iranian agents, this is a huge screw-up.

“Someone forgot to turn their transponder back on” might work as an excuse for one plane. But three? Simultaneously?

This is the kind of thing that happens when war planners have no idea what they are doing.
