Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust 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 its 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 Trumps watch. Im 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.
