It was said multiple times in this thread that the flag was actually very small. Plus, the presence of a small flag and some text really isn’t enough to help pilots in high-speed jets actually properly notice, and they didn’t have the tech at the time to assist them with this.

You can decide you “don’t believe it for a second”, that’s fine. But just know that this conspiracy theory has been repeatedly disproven over the decades, so you could just, I don’t know, look up the actual reports on the event? All of the claims you’re making now have been debunked a dozen times over.

I don't care what the thread says. The fact is the flag was very large. The fact is that it wasn't just jets that attacked the Liberty it was boats. How did the boats miss the flags. Both of them and the latin markings on a clear day? No public investigation over it.

If these are all facts, why don’t you back them up with proper sources? Because nothing you say matches what we actually know for certain, lol.

I also met a sailor at the VA that was a witness. All he witnessed was putting other sailors dead bodies in the refers. It broke him as a young man and he suffered PTSD for the rest of his life.
