#the navy times is under the military times umbrella making that sentence redundant.

The F-35 fuckup makes me wonder how Ice would deal with similar fuckups in the Navy. Or maybe when he sees Captain Mitchell's fuckups (like the darkstar) trending on twitter.

ahhh the f-35 fuck-up… someone asked me a similar question months ago about the f-22 balloon kills situation and i had a similar headcanon response which is, ice going “wow. hmm.” over their morning coffee and maverick groggily going “what. what happened.” and ice sliding his phone over with the CNN story pulled up, and mav goes, “huh. that’s not good.” and ice shrugs and sips his coffee and goes “well god help the poor fucker they draft to deal with it” and minds his own business and goes about his day. it’s the marine corps’ stupid autopilot stealth plane. not his problem.

(until it is, and then he goes scorched earth, ruthless fleet commander hours)

re: ice dealing with darkstar: i guess, number one, do we think the US military would memoryhole it? say some other military craft exploded & not give away the details of the program? “Air Force u-2 explodes over Rocky Mountains, one pilot ejects safely from 50k ft” or something. Twitter clowns on the air force & not mav. diversionary infosec tactics. number two, this is how ice deals with the darkstar issue
