      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.

        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.
