Not to diminish the tragedy, but I had a feeling that one of his cut-backs contributed to the chaos around this.
Trump refuses to put the blame on the blackhawk. Hegseth was freaked out and all the color was drained out of his face.
Something isn't right. The blackhawk shouldn't have been in the decent patch of DCA. Put a different way - the passenger jet was doing exactly what it was supposed to do.
I’ve read elsewhere that training flights for choppers are common and necessary, and that that’s what this one was doing.
I’ve also read that the air traffic controller very specifically warned the chopper about the commercial flight.
Why was Hegseth freaked out? Because he’s now realizing what everyone else learned decades ago—that Trump talks out of his ass? Or because Hesgeth is a TV personality who doesn’t have the faintest fucking clue what he’s doing?
