Just heard that the military lost a B-52 bomber plane.

At Edwards Air Force Base in California this afternoon.

Not a lot details about the crash, but it’s likely there are no survivors.

This is another blemish on our military and country. We have a lot of crashes before. But here lately, seems to be an awful bad trend with several under Trump’s watch. I’m really not blaming him, but yes I am and along with Hegseth! Because it is the command. They would blame Biden or even Obama for these military disasters.
