6. "Military aircrews are highly trained professionals"

Like the helicopter crew that brought down the airline over DCA?

"Safety remains a top priority"??? Tell that to the relatives of the dead skaters who died because of military incompetence.

Crashing another US passenger jet, with hundreds of dead Americans, is going to vastly complicate Trump's pseudo-war with Venezuela. I imagine the Dutch government is right now trying to limit US ops in their airspace.

There are currently 127 flights a day to the Dutch ABC islands, from the US, Canada, and Europe. The islands depend on air transportation for their economy as well as their goods.
