The Department of Defense identified a UAE plane as an American C-17. The DoD doesn’t even know this isn’t an American plane. As one Twitter user said, ‘we’re doomed.’ We have a lot of amateurs at the DoD but they’re probably appropriately WOKE.

The responses were well-deserved:
Hey Genius — that is not an American Plane

So now our own Department of Defense not only can’t identify aircraft by their national insignia, they don’t even bother to READ the markings on the nose. We are doomed.

No wonder they are “vague” about the numbers.

I saw what inserting wokeness into management did to a very large successful corporation, it failed in 20 years, could not execute projects, was bought out. What government is doing now, ruining the nation, with the same type of people, is a flashback to me. Failure in inevitable now. We are failing. A sign of failure is that so many do not realize it is underway.
“The DoD doesn’t even know this isn’t an American plane.”
That’s what happens when they can’t read or write.
Afghanistan is officially a US Cluster Fuck! This is what happens when you allow your Government to be run by “The Educated” instead of Smart People with Real Experience. For 90% of the People going to College in America, College just makes you dumb as dirt. I would NEVER hire a College Graduate unless he was smarter then me and my IQ is in the 99 percentile range. As a High School drop out, I have more personal wealth than most of my College Educated Friends. They spent their lives following the herd. I recently asked a local High School about teaching “the smart kids” Computer Science; a field I have over 45 years of experience in. Since I don’t have a 4 year Degree, just 3 AS Degrees, I’m not qualified to teach. For 20 years, I’ve been Teaching People in the Government, which is why I know they are dumb as dirt, but to the Academic Community, I’m a moron. I guess I’ll just spend my time in retirement Mining Crypto for beer money. I drink a lot of expensive imported beer and wine since I can afford the finer things in life. That’s what happens when you work smart and stop following the crowd.
Maybe it was their Taliban handlers that gave them the information. They are the ones in charge after all.
