 Military aviation crashes are again on the rise. Are ongoing safety and training issues to blame?

Recent crashes in Southern California and beyond are just the latest in a worsening problem, experts say

A spate of military aircraft crashes over recent months is again raising questions about the Pentagon’s approach to safety and training across military branches.

In June, six service members died in two Southern California crashes — a Lemoore, Calif.-based F/A-18E pilot on June 3 in San Bernardino County and five Camp Pendleton-based Marines in an MV-22B Osprey that crashed in Imperial County June 8.

The next day, June 9, a San Diego-based MH-60 Seahawk helicopter also crashed in Imperial County, with all aboard surviving with minor injuries.

The Marine Osprey crash was the second such fatal crash this year. Four Marines were killed in March when their Osprey crashed during a training exercise in Norway.

No, but the money that should be spent on them going to Ukraine, and making a nonworking life for illegal immigrants are.

No, but the money that should be spent on them going to Ukraine, and making a nonworking life for illegal immigrants are.

I would wager the importation and set up money, not to mention the transportation ticket for the over 1 million imported illegals in this regime dwarves any funding/aid that has actually made it to the front lines in Ukraine.

For the relatively small investment in closing our border to illegals, we'd save enough to fix the military maintenance budget.

At the same time, I would wager there is a lot of fat in there that could be reallocated.
