The only reason I don't think this is some screwy deep state fuckery going on is that those guys are completely soulless and evil and would have no problem killing a number of our own soldiers as a means to an end to try to force Trump's hand on some action, like false flag or something.

18 of the 21 injured were minor injuries and all 21 injuries reported were not life-threatening. Sounds more like an accident to me, which I can accept. This ship was under maintenance. Things happen.

I think if this was some plot they would have gone for more blood. I'll wait and see on this one.
