      I’m still trying to imagine something the size of a carrier making hard turns

      A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

        Ah so the Houthis shot it down and they are using a lame excuse. That checks out.

        Those are actually pretty agile for their size and can make hard turns

    The amount of money the US regime throws around while a significant portion of us are barely getting by is obscene.
