ONE pilot is missing.
Say his name. Show his photo.
Run it on every channel.

Do you care?

Because—

165 schoolgirls are dead.
No names. No photos.
Just a number you scroll past.

So let’s be honest—

Do you care about one American life…
only because it’s American?

Do you call him a hero, even if 60% of Americans are against the illegal war, and call the others “collateral”?

If you demand he be brought home-
do you also demand an answer for them?

Or is empathy something we issue…
like passports?

Yes because the left will bleat like demented sheep over it.

Would you rather a nuclear Iran starts blackmailing the world or let ballistic nukes start raining down vs the death of 1 airman is probably a better question.

So they were developing highly enriched uranium half a mile underground with the cash the democrats sent them, just for fun and giggles? And they would only deliver death to Isreal and the West by large fireworks?

Please explain your bizarre post.

Israel have nuclear weapons, Iran want nuclear proliferation, and it's only fair they get them.

Iran hasn't started a war for over 200 years

The whole scenario mimics the film "Behind Enemy Lines" from 2001 with Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson

That film itself was also actually loosely based on a true story

If the Iranians find the co pilot first assuming alive the shight is going to hit the fan with tango man when they start parading him/her about

It's about how Iran will exploit the situation for propaganda if he's captured.

They won't be following the Geneva convention.

While I think the way Trump is carrying out this war is shambolic, at the end of the day as an American the Iranian regime is an enemy.

Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism.

Iran supported the Assad regime and because of it, an horrific war lasted 14 years.

Iran is massacring Kurds

Iran's proxy army Hezbollah occupies a portion of Lebanon and refuses to allow the Lebanese government to control the nation.

Iran 's proxy the Houthis illegally occupy a part of Yemen and have continued a deadly war

Iran has tried to overthrow the governments of its Arab neighbors.

Don't Arab lives matter?

Shouldn't you be supporting the Arab world as it defends itself from the Iranian regime?

So loosely based that the pilot it concerned sued the film makers for making out he was a Hot Dog pilot. Most of the time he spent hiding in the bushes eating ants.

The mullahs haven't started a war because they have let their proxies do the dirty work.

Shove your trollish ‘reasoning’. This war is complete bs and you know it.., only perpetrated because your <deleted> beloved pedo president is deflecting. I have never seen anything so pathetic and sickening in my lifetime. Why the real powers that be in yankland have not unalived that demented donkey, I’ll never know! A place that can remove a wonderful peace-loving leader (taken out by the CIA) and yet permit a warmongering retard to operate with impunity says it all. A morally bankrupt state if there ever were one. I hope the rest of the world does a big fat one on the upcoming 250 anniversary and World Cup! 🖕

No comment. I'll just post MAGA favorite chart

Iran stands as one of the most misunderstood nations in the world. Contrary to claims, they have not harmed thousands of protesters; this narrative is a fabrication that seeks to distort the truth. Iran has not supplied weapons to militias in Iraq, Syria, or Yemen, and the allegations regarding their support for proxy groups like Lebanese Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hamas are also unfounded. Iran is governed by principles of dignity and honor. It is essential that we recognize the truth and support Iran in its quest for peace and justice.

Iran would not do this; it's against the Geneva Convention. The government of Iran cares deeply about human rights.

Someone explain: why is it fine for the USA to give Israel billions to then go on to kill Palestinians (i.e. sponsoring terrorism) by the thousand while Iran is not held to the same standard?

You have sources to back up that claim ? Per forum rules you're required to provide one

So all of what follows are lies, seeing this is only one of many links to what has gone on for decades?.It's hard to separate the facts from the lies, as there are so many different opinions and stories about what's gone on there. One side has you believing something needed to be done, while the other says the US was totally wrong in wanting to destroy the leaders who were responsible for the following.....................https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/middle-east/iran/report-iran/

Good satire!

It could trigger something dangerous in Trump's addled brain about the Iranian hostage crisis under Carter.

On the other hand, if Iran plays it more civilized, a captured soldier could be used as the basis for the start of real negotiation.

Civilized has nothing to do with it. If the government gets him, good bargaining chip. If local people find him first, he easily could be killed on the spot. Little publicized fact about the Vietnam war. The NVA or Viet Cong would "sprint" to get a downed pilot, as they wanted chips, but if local people who had been getting bombed, got him first, they would, as often as not, beat him to death.

The Iranian regime obviously wants to capture him alive if he is alive.

The OP should read this.

Thread points out few here have served in the military. Certainly explains quite.

If the government forces get to him first, sure, if not ...

I hope that the pilot evades capture and is recovered. I doubt, if he is still alive, that he will at this point.

I don't wish this from any desire to glorify the story.

I think, and have made this clear in a number of posts, that I think that this war is illegal, both under domestic US and International Law. The previous American led military adventures in the region, Iraq and Afghanistan, had at least the shield of arguable legality. That shield was firm for the war to expelled Iraq from Kuwait (in which I took part) and much more fragile in the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This war on Iran abandoned all pretense of a legal basis. It has been conducted both politically and militarily in a particularly cynical, amoral and barbaric manner. The US reaction to the harrowing deaths of those children in the utterly unjusifiable attack on that school was callous and careless, and has utterly destroyed my already somewhat dented belief in the moral standards which are claimed to underpin the American military.

So yes, I hope that they rescue that pilot, it would be a remarkable feat of arms if they do.

I also want the whole political base of the war to be investigated (that is a job for the US Congress in a hopefully resurgent form), and I want those responsible for the school attack, and any other atrocities, to face justice.

I’m hearing it’s the Weapons Officer who’s missing ill regardless he’s one of ours and I care deeply I also admire and am deeply concerned for the folks searching for our missing wizzo…..that being said I do not support this fiasco Donald’s got us into….I will not disparage the people who are sent.I just wish they would send Donald himself.

Pete Hegseth's "no quarter, no mercy" was a declaration of intent to abandon the Geneva Convention and commit war crimes as national policy. He put every single member of the US military in a grave risk they didn't sign up for.

The bombing of girl's school is a tragic event and I am deeply saddened by the loss of innocent lives. The correlation between the the missing US pilot and the bombing of the girl's school is unclear and is a "What aboutism statement". All lives are precious and should be protected. In the case of the pilot, he was doing his job and was shot down which is unfortunate but also a possibility of the job. We can project that if the Iranians capture the pilot, they will rigorously torture and interrogate him to get information and use him as a pawn in their game and is unfair as the person that is responsible for the world going through this nightmare is Donald Trump not the Iranians, not the good people of of the US and certainly not the pilot.
