An F-35 got hit by an Iranian missile yesterday. A TWO TRILLION DOLLAR project to create a jet that should supposedly be unassailable, got fucking clapped. Iran said it was shot down, US sources claimed it was severely damaged and had to do an emergency landing.

The US has no universal health care, crumbling infrastructure, a society in decline, and all for what? To just hand a bunch of cash to the ruling class through defense contracts, that's what for.

    To be absolutely fair: "Shot down" usually means the pilot was either killed, or had to bail, and that the jet crashed uncontrollably into the ground and was completely destroyed. It's pretty common to differentiate between "shot down" and "hit, but was able to land".
