Iranian missiles have already destroyed significant capacity for the US military's paper thin logistics network in the middle east, leading to severe food and sanitation shortages throughout the Navy. Sailors are losing their minds, posting borderline mutinous language on social media, and self harming. Some have lost 20-30 lbs due to their meagre diet.

Unlimited C-5s trying to land on the deck of USS Bounty

Edit: If they were really serious about the F-35 being multi-role, they'd attach cargo pods to the exterior hard points so the sailors can watch their rations plummet straight to the bottom of the ocean

Regarding your edit: You ever see A Bridge Too Far? Where the paratrooper's resupply drops outside their lines, and a desperate soldier braves enemy fire to retrieve it. Only to be shot dead, the cargo pod open, and a thousand crimson paratrooper berets scatter on the wind?

Imagine that, but it's like funko pops or punisher stickers and the sailors are drowning instead of being shot

Iirc this and the monkey knife fight meme are too detailed to be legible when shrunk down to emoji size unfortunately

it's pretty rough at like 4x size just eyeballing it with browser zoom. i think with the monkeys we could pick a frame and have monkey-knife-1 and monkey-knife-2 but it loses something without the boys cheering it on.
