Really? I feel like "Iran shot down a US Navy jet" is more embarrassing than "the US shot down a US Navy jet." Not for the pilots responsible, but for the Navy

Really? I feel like "Iran shot down a US Navy jet" is more embarrassing than "the US shot down a US Navy jet." Not for the pilots responsible, but for the Navy as a whole. I don't have any insight on this particular story though.
- burnerthrow008 2y agoWhy would that be embarrassing? No aircraft is invulnerable, especially not conventional (non-stealth) aircraft. I don’t think there is any general expectation among the American public or military that American aircraft will never be shot down.
