>30 U.S. Navy Sailors from the USS Wasp (LHD-1) and USS New York (LPD-21) as well as Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit were Injured on Wednesday, following an Incident off the Coast of Jacksonville, Florida which involved the Collision of 2 Landing Craft Air Cushions (LCAC); 5 of the 30 Servicemembers required Advanced Medical Care and were Airlifted to Savannah Memorial University Medical Center in Southern Georgia, with most having now been Released. The Incident is now under Investigation while Recovery Operations continue for the Hovercrafts.
Can you imagine the shitshow if this happened during an actual amphibious invasion whilst you're also under enemy fire?:

Literally a 16 year old. Don't post this account, he's extremely unreliable.
Yet he still has better Osint than you
Over 700 dead:

This is why we train. I assume it was an equipment malfunction, in which case great that we found out now and only got a few dozen people hurt instead of killed. If it was an operator malfunction, he's probably going to have to live with the crushing guilt of nearly killing 30 people, murder blueballs are the worst
Fluffy boats are hard job I assume.
Implessive this time they didn't catch on fire
Hovercraft hard. No more questions.
>Can you imagine the shitshow if this happened during an actual amphibious invasion whilst you're also under enemy fire?
you mean the reason you train?
yeah. I'm not sure turdies would, though.
These things are loud as shit and probably obsolete considering drones
>Can you imagine the shitshow if this happened during an actual amphibious invasion whilst you're also under enemy fire?:
Yes, actually. Warfare at its core is barely managed chaos and these things will happen often.

Turns out amphibious landings are hard, even for those who are prepared for them.
Shame we'll never get Odessa dollar store d-day , and it is very unlikely we'll see pooh trying to take Taiwan that way.
They’re laundering American casualties in Ukraine. This coincides with the Russian breakthrough at Avdiivka.
>Can you imagine the shitshow if this happened during an actual amphibious invasion
Can I imagine 30 people being injured during a full scale invasion? yes I can. I can very much imagine that.
>Two LCACs colliding during an actual amphibious invasion immobilising both crafts and leaving the men out of action won't have any consequences when you're under enemy fire.
Don't worry it'll be like the battles of Tarawa or Okinawa but the carnage recorded by DJI drones and published on social media.
>broooo imagine if people le died during an invasion
yeah uh they will.
But can the modern day US public handle seeing US troops getting smoked on camera recorded by enemy drones? Back in 1991, 2001 and 2003, the public only had access to what It was shown to them on TV via MSM. Now even in-state actors can start publishing combat footage on social media and going viral.
>red wings footage
>tongo tongo ambush
I promise you the American public does not get two flying shits about guys like me
Except that blundering an amphibious operation, the number of casualties could reach 3 digit numbers at bare minimum and in the worst case scenario 4 digits + losing an LPD or even a LHD. That's several times higher that any sneaky SOF operation.
And half the country is gonna be all
>good, frick those imperialist scumbags
And the other half will be all
>heros, every single one of them
We are soldiers, we aren’t meant to make it through the war, just to sell our lives for a high price
