“You don’t accidentally target and shoot a Navy missile”
Like the Iranian airliner?

Nothing accidental in that. The tracking and the firing were deliberate. They misidentified the target.

I never said that. If you had any idea of how much visibility a live fire exercise has, you'd know that there is no way it was an accident during a LFE. If an officer on a Navy ship shot down an airliner in US air space, he'd be arrested even on the spot, even if he was the captain.
