    During my 15 years in the navy, I’ve seen many American ships and had to work with them many times. I’d rather sail somewhere with 3 hostile Russian ships in the vicinity then 1 friendly American ship. Holy shit, are they stupid AF. Once I singlehandedly prevented an American ship shooting down it’s own helo because he thought he was under attack. In front of the German coast. It’s helo did a medical drop-off on the German mainland and was returning. They were about to open fire (final warning was read, but on the wrong frequency) when I shouted over the radio “HOLD YOUR FIRE, HOSTILE CONTACT IS FRIENTLY HELO, HOLD YOUR FIRE!”

    I have maaaaany stories about how stupid the US military is. The corvus would win for sure.
