Is it just my imagination or has the US military had a surprising number of serious accidents in just last few months? Is this the third or the fourth?

It's the fourth.
List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2020-present)

10 November. A U.S. Army MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed into the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Cyprus during a training flight, killing all 5 U.S. service personnel aboard. The dead were members of the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. According to U.S. European Command, the helicopter was involved in "a routine air refueling mission".

[This accident.]
I believe the theory that these are all dudes who were operating without sanction in Gaza and other places who got merked.
That may very well be true. "Accidents" - especially if the bodies are never recovered - are awfully convenient. I don't believe in conspiracy theories but the US military operates all over the world and inconvenient deaths or serious injuries in the wrong countries need cover stories.
Well it's either that or the US military is suffering from structural decay such that even non-combat ops are racking up dead Yankees.
That can only mean they were
and had to be liquidated.

While this is tragic, I think it's important to note that it wouldn't have happened if I was flying. I would have saved everyone and they would have clapped for me back at base.
I'd crash the helicopter too. Have you seen the APR on these cars?
