The United States Department of Defense (DoD) told the House Armed Services Committee that the status of the second crew member on the F-15E fighter jet downed in Iran is unknown, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Friday. According to a person familiar with the matter, the Pentagon confirmed to the committee that the jet was shot down and one crew member recovered. Meanwhile, it was reported that Iran shot down two US helicopters while they were tasked with search and rescue for the team of the downed F-15 jet.
NN: This is a tragic event. But its war. To me what is remarkable is how few planes have been shot down. it’s sad from two standpoints one is the weapons operator who sits in the back seat it’s still lost and in pearl. And two it gives the enemies of his great attempt to defeat Iran ammunition to cause hysteria and force a premature withdrawal. I hope that the American Rescue forces will find him before the Iranian Savages. I cannot conceive that people don’t seem to grasp the grave danger mankind faces from these religious fanatics of Iran. look they are developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons to attack the world. They demonstrate a willing to willingness to use any and all weapons they can get their hands on. And are state sponsors of terrorists the world over. It is battling to me as I listen to the commentary out there how the liberal lefties and even some conservatives don’t understand that these modern day Hitlers have to be stopped. What’s the use of having the world’s mightiest military if you can’t put boots on the ground? Why bother having an army. I agree with no more endless wars. But foreign wars are an absolutely necessary especially against Iran.
