Missing US crew member rescued in 'daring' operation in Iran

[Twiglets1]

A missing U.S. service member who was shot down in Iran has been rescued following a risky mission deep behind enemy lines in mountainous terrain, Donald Trump has announced.

“WE GOT HIM!” the president posted on Truth Social shortly after midnight on Saturday. “My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History.”

Iranian authorities had offered a bounty to anyone who handed over the missing airman alive, a state television anchor announced previously. White House officials had remained largely silent on the search.

Trump said that the unnamed airman had sustained injuries during the crash but “will be just fine.”

I am glad for him and his family.
Now Trump will continue his war crimes with an even more inflated ego and inflict hell on countless other families.

This strawman- if you don't support the foolhardy US war you must be a fan of IRGC- is no longer fooling anyone, not even MAGA.

That's untrue and unfair to our military.

Which post on this thread are you referring to?

Calling meetings to discuss it … using stern words to tell Iran they needed to find him and send him home safely.

It's obvious enough.
I feel no need to explain.
Oh also the usual next question: how do you think the regime should be toppled?

I don't know. But this war clearly hasn't worked.

It is not untrue. We struggled to fire up HMS dragon, didn't it leave 2 weeks late?

The bravery of the US rescue teams to enter hostile territory knowing if they were shot down and captured their fate would have been horrific to say the least.

It is good news for this man and his family.
However considering Trump said that he didn't like John McCain because he was captured, that he liked soldiers who weren't captured and he was a loser, I really am very skeptical of any claims from Trump of the bone spurs et al.

You’re answering posts that no one has written to you.

A post re daily executions or the horror of the IRGC is just that. It can stand alone.

I don’t watch Fox News the quote from Fox News was embedded in a repost I linked to. I also quote from Iranian TV sources sometimes but I don’t watch Iranian TV either.

Because this is how threads usually go on here.Just saving time.

It’s ok, you don’t have to explain yourself.

I like this strategy.

Agree with those relieved that he has been found.

Thank you.

And your replies fit that too. It’s the expected.

Any mention of daily executions or suppression and a post like yours will appear.

It’s horrific enough to let their situation just be said.

It’s certainly an interesting one.

Don't be ridiculous. Fox News never lies. Which is why they paid that $787 million to settle the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Machines regarding the 2020 elections. They paid that out of the goodness of their hearts. Not because they ever lie.

Very pleased the airmen have been rescued. Sorry they were there in the first place for this ill-conceived, unnecessary, wag the dog war.

Oh, I remember the " Wag the Dog" movie. Must rewatch. So appropriate.
Will be a better watch than whatever Ryan Gosling movie comes out of this.

Which they would inevitably do so the suggestion it could be a lie was ill thought out.

it will be the biggliest, bestiest most daring piece of daring do ever in the history of not only the planet but the entire galaxy and all beyond! Carried out by the most important man ever to take breath of course. Wonder if we will be treated to an AI video of him single handedly pulling it off like the one of him personally winning the ice hockey gold.
Glad the pilot is safe though and hope he makes a full recovery from his ordeal.

I think your first sentence was Trump’s first draft before he was advised to tone it down a bit.

No Starmer had the good sense not to send British soldiers into a foolhardy illegal war, the US airman should not have been there that's on Trump and Hegseth. You seem to have swallowed the MAGA propaganda that British armed forces are useless, pretty offensive to your armed forces.

The thought of what they’d do to him if caught was horrifying

Yes, an awful regime where the war minister swore to give “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies”, and the leader is shrieking “glory to god”.

Oh wait.

(yes I’m being flippant, no I don’t think the US is worse than Iran, yes I do think that if members of the Iranian gov said the above it would be used as evidence of their awful barbarism)
