LOL...the Coastie saying, “Bang! Bang! Bang!” was reported by CNN as “gunfire.” Next time they’ll have to get those little signs with the words on them, so as not to confuse these geniuses.

No. It was beyond stupid of the CG to pull a stunt like this right after the POTUS passed and on 9/11. And I still don’t think we’re getting the whole story.

Maybe it was a test to see which network would be stupid and careless enough to report a training exercise as an attack without verifying the story first. If so, we have the answer: CNN.

Should have sent a couple 20 yr old kids and get the story straight. Fat and lazy is a terrible way to report the snooze.

They have to do something while they work. A routine drill is just normal. I would guess their every working day has a drill in it.

Yeah, and CNN is trying to extricate themselves from the mess by pointing back to the CG by saying it was a dumb thing to do to test ‘preparedness’ on 9/11 esp. when the Child-In-Chief was making an address at the Pentagon ....
