Stop disrespecting US military personnel without knowing the facts.

Until then - deal with it.

If they can't provide a source that can be verified, it's nothing but jackassin' at the expense of US military personnel.

A bit hasty with that dismissal, I would say.

Michael Yon claims to have sources for the "Vaxident" story. He has developed a lot of sources over the years, and they have been pretty accurate up to now.

Those sources would face punishment actions if they were identified.

It is unlikely in those circumstances, that there can ever be "confirmation" of a claim that is counter to the official narrative.

Just more fog that makes it harder to sort out what is true. In this case, I cannot really tell either.

Carrier landings have always been a dangerous business.

Almost all military pilots and crews have been required to take the mRNA treatment. Let's keep watching the accident rates and see if they are increasing.

My cousin years ago went to Annapolis and went to fighter school successfully did a career landing and then turned in his wings because he realized that it was not going to be another fighter that shoots him down it wasa going to be the fact that he did not have the reflexes to do the job. hge told me that eventually if he went to A higher performance jets that his inability raise his proficiency would kill him.... You have to have real respect for anyone that does carrier landings.

No, it’s at the bottom of the South China Sea. If China gets to it first, it’s there’s. If they do, we’ll never hear about it.

Michael Yon

Yes, good guy. Just believe that without independent corroboration, this goes anywhere.

The main issue on this thread is people willing to pass judgment on the pilot without knowing the facts. And there's also some posters that come across as not liking women - period.

My recollection (perhaps faulty) is that an investigation after her F14 crash showed her performance was sub par while in carrier flight training but she was passed along.

I'm not opposed to women in the military, but the affirmative action nonsense where performance is a life or death issue will get people killed. I actually think there are some roles where women would actually tend to outperform men, such as sonar operators. But the lunacy now of relaxing standards to advance women and minorities is simply going to get servicemembers killed and negatively affect the military. Plus the excuses for bad behavior, like the ship captain (female) and XO (female) who weren't talking to each other and relayed messages through subordinates. That's the ridiculous behavior that was tolerated on one of the naval vessels involved in a fatal collision a few years ago.

The Navy is getting used to its first manned stealth plane - which isn’t as stealthy with dents in it.

So what caused the earlier crashes if all those pilots were trained under supposedly higher standards?

Sheer numbers. What are the pilot-caused mishap rates? That's what you need to know.

Is it really THAT HARD to find men willing to fly those planes?

” the fighter jet appears to strike the deck”

Really? Wow, when did you notice that?

The problem is do you believe anything coming out of any part of the US government or media? I don’t for a second. As I said wouldn’t surprise me if it’s pure BS or the absolute truth.

"I'm not opposed to women in the military, but the affirmative action nonsense where performance is a life or death issue will get people killed. "

Affirmative action means choosing persons based upon skin color and ethnicity, which is racist and wrong since these aspects do not determine character (though their culture may) or ability, while gender can. And in which the female species is uniquely designed to conceive and birth children as her normative role, and to raise them with her husband and male leader, with the male being suited for his role and certain functions which require greater physical strength, unemotional decision making, and protection of precious females (the "weaker" sex as gold as weaker than iron), with militates against battlefield cohesiveness with men.

Overall ignoring the God-designed and ordained differences (thank God!) btwn genders and normative roles and perverting them is part of the work of the devil which works to pervert all that God ordained in order to glory in a world society which is distinctly his creation, for he seeks to be as God,. to his own destruction. But which God allows in order to provide man an alternative to obeying the uniquely omniscient omnipotent Giver and Sustainer of Life, without which alternative man's ability to choose is meaningless.

Female pilot

That information is apparently being actively suppressed by the Deep State Media, probably because it doesn't fit the desired narrative. The only story I could find on it is from a Russian Blog:
