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.

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.
