Hornet Swatted

In one of the more optimistic developments of the current catastrophe in the Middle East, some minions of the World Cop have managed to shoot down one of their own wog-bombing resources, apparently thanks to the negligence of some trigger-happy Houthis. The good guys with guns were aboard the USS Gettysburg and evidently had the wrong address, perhaps led by the fog of war to mistake the multi-role combat aircraft for a civilian airliner or something similarly heinous. Poetically enough, the Gettysburg is part of the USS Harry S Truman Carrier Strike Group, named for the aircraft carrier from which the friendlily-fired-upon took off; and also, of course, named for the president who deliberately increased American casualties in order to turn a conventional war nuclear.
