Tell lie vision 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AmericaFirstFLL]

Of course the American public stopped believing anything.

Get over it with all the UFO stuff going around I can't blame the reactivity of the operator, it was reported that his dream was to examinate a UFO, bad luck for him.

[@rogerlayne8623]

It's called friendly fire not the people jumped the gun

[@theunique1966]

Je n’en crois pas un seul mot …

[@futurelegendary5605]

There is nothing called friendly shot, houthi claims responsibility for shot down U.S military jet in the red sea. Btw, what the hk are you doing in the red sea while it belongs to this poor country. You are just humiliating yourselves coming to yemenis territories.

[@straightopoint]

The military owes taxpayers for the price of that jet. That is pure incompetent. Lack of training. We are not Russia.

[@jessfulbright9015]

Seems like a straight story and an honest mistake, those Houthi fighter jets look just like an FA-18. I say we move this ship and this captain to New Jersey; they do at least have a track record of being able to shoot something down, maybe they can hit one of those drones.

[@irony1858]

"It is unclear how the Gettysburg had mistaken an F/A-18 for an enemy aircraft or missile" No Mistake, DEI Hire

[@kskeel1124]

US military aircraft are supposed to be equipped with friend or foe transponders...🤔

[@hobgoblinhollow4966]

Sadly, it was probably an E A 18 version. They jammed their own ship who then shot them down is possible, but reality says nobody wants to think Yemens Houthis figured out rocketeering.

[@Ausaris]

No, it's just the fact that the CIWS has no IFF, stay in your lane civilian.

[@rickmaldoo4205]

That's embarrassing 😳 hope those boys are safe

[@mikej6544]

Why, they kill innocent civilians.

[@Ausaris]

​@@mikej6544You're killing innocent braincells yet people are still fine with you being around

[@amine-lk9fo]

Americans to houthis after the jet was downed: Why you do this to me I tough we were friends :( Thus the friendly fire.

[@billcomerford3021]

How can the shoot on an American aircraft with IFF to tell them who the a/c belongs to.

[@Chad-ui5cv]

Lies

[@kevinmiller-ri4mo]

Bitin" lies, Hairass lies, Llyod Austin Powers lies, Cringe john pier lies. Hell this whole putrid administration lies all the time!

[@marykillough3608]

Like I believe ANYTHING this crappy station tells me!

[@woodstream6137]

Why are you watching then? I know faux news isn't journalism so i don't watch them, ever

[@blackriveroutfitters7185]

The VA has already determined the pilots future disabilities are not service related.

[@worms1]

memo to i.t. guys 1. please write an algorithm which precludes surface to air missiles from homing in on friendly aircraft

[@kalebhopewilcom8876]

came here to say this an obvious lie but it looks like this comments section is taken care of.

[@N0Bah_D-666]

Everyone's focused on the oopsie of it and not WHY is the American Empire in Yemen in the first place

[@jerryfox6781]

I don’t believe this for one second.

[@rachelpitt-u4o]

The nobility of signing up wears thinner with each passing generation. Was it in Iraq that friendly fire claimed more lives than those you were fighting?

[@MarkStockman-b4j]

Me: Very sad that the Federal army is a shadow of its former self. Also me: Very happy that the Federal army is a shadow of its former self.
