@PresentWitness_ I would argue our strategic level thinking is flawed

We’re going to have to confront the fact that either our military intelligence is absolutely awful or that our leadership wants a prolonged engagement. It’s difficult to accept that we couldn’t anticipate that Iran would close the strait, hunker down, and try to wait it out.

@pinky75705848 @RobertJMolnar Your right time is of the essence, a pilot has signaleing equipment, survival supplies, signal…the longer this plays out the worse the outcome

@RobertJMolnar 12 hours without food, water, and medical attention. Each minute that passes is cruicial.

Hey everybody....we have an American serviceman running for his life in Iran after getting shot down, and no clear way to rescue him without invading southwest Iran and fighting the now thousands of IRGC troops that have swarmed the area Where is the President with a statement of some sort? It has been 12 hours since our guy has been on the run....what is going on about it? This is absolute utter epic debacle for Trump....

@RobertJMolnar God bless the WSO and the pilot, especially the one unaccounted for

@MikeRob75953577 @imran_lp @DaleStarkA10 @Cernovich Not specific to this instance at all, I’m commenting on the culture as you were previously

@FactChecke3215 @imran_lp @DaleStarkA10 @Cernovich There aren’t any KIA to recover, what are you talking about?

People are asking how CSAR helos can operate over Iran after an F-15E and an A-10 were shot down. It’s because the CSAR package doesn’t go in alone, it brings a world of hate with it. Any threat to the helos gets swarmed by a pack of rabid dogs. It’s still risky as hell, but overwhelming firepower lets us stack the odds in our favor.

@MikeRob75953577 @imran_lp @DaleStarkA10 @Cernovich It’s important to note, recovering a KIA service member has the same type of commitment to retrieve remains.

@imran_lp @DaleStarkA10 @Cernovich Yes, it is. 🤣🤣 You would sacrifice thousands of your people attempting to capture the air crew of a two person fighter jet. America will gladly oblige and kill thousands of your people while we successfully rescue our pilots. Are you joking? What a clown

@MikeRob75953577 @DaleStarkA10 @Cernovich It’s part of the culture

It goes deeper and something these countries can’t comprehend, it’s just not in their DNA. They will move heaven and earth sacrificing hundreds or thousands of troops to capture a single downed US pilot. We will also move heaven and earth killing hundreds or thousands of enemy troops to rescue a downed pilot. We are not the same

@DaleStarkA10 Dale, a Sandy element is the escort for the CSAR helicopters ?

@EthanLevins2 I think they do, but not air supremacy like Afghanistan or Iraq post invasion

How does the U.S. not have air superiority after 30 days of fighting? What the hell have they been bombing?

@AnaEscobarShow @NJD589 Escort and close air support for the CSAR package I imagine

@NJD589 Is it part of the search and rescue? They haven’t been shooting at SOAR aircraft

Why is an A-10 Warthog even flying if we don’t have boots on the ground ?

@georgegalloway Things are apparently still playing out on the ground, we don’t know how this concludes. Fallujah ?

Today has been a Fallujah for the United States in Iran.

@juliettekayyem It’s important to note, based on my experience and I’m relatively confident others will concur, day to day life for the average Soldier, party politics, national security objectives are irrelevant

The tradition that fired or retiring generals do not engage in politics or speak out no longer holds. I believed it for a long time too. But by remaining silent about crimes, lack of war plans, or Hegseth's fitness, they are actually choosing politics over the nation. Speak up.

@Cubfan13241 Let’s be real…Disregarding anecdotal evidence is prudent.The belief a citizen is privy to intelligence via open source that is comparable to POTUS/ Cabinet is insane. The American people deserve answers before committing sons and daughters to the fight. Please advise

I can't even imagine the level of rage I would feel if after dedicating 44 years of my life in service to this country, I was fired by a drunk loser who walks around with a cocktail napkin in his lapel pocket.

@BradMiller1010 @SecWar Being objective: there are a lot of factors at play and most of all , information that is not privy to the general public. That’s clear. I would start with skepticism at minimum towards GEN GEORGE I wouldn’t form a conclusive opinion

I don't know GEN Randy George & I don't know why @SecWar fired him as Chief of Staff of the Army. Some speculate he isn't on board with the Pentagon's current direction & call him a hero for perhaps standing up to Hegseth. I don't know GEN George personally, but he is no hero regardless of however much he may currently be challenging Hegseth (insofar as that's even true). There are NO heroes currently serving at the general officer ranks in the US military. Zero. They ALL went along with the treasonous covid op that a) was run as a military op to kill, injure & plunder the wealth of Americans, and b) targeted its own ranks via the military's covid shot mandate. None of these general officers would still be serving if they had any true courage. They'd have either resigned years ago rather than go along with the treasonous op or they'd have been fired for failure to obey the (unlawful) orders associated with the mandate. You can't be a service chief in this day & age if you take your oath to support and defend the Constitution seriously. The govt is too corrupt to accept leaders of character in those positions. The unlawful mandate massively reduced military readiness, physically & morally injured untold numbers of troops, & severed trust in ways that will impact the military for years to come. If GEN George were a true hero, he'd have resisted the covid op. Instead, he willingly defied his oath to support and defend the Constitution and since then has done virtually nothing to pursue justice for those impacted by the covid op or pursue accountability for those who perpetrated these crimes. Just because George may now be challenging the "Pentagonopoly" doesn't mean he's some champion of truth or courage. He's a man who turned his back on his country when it needed him most. Let's not forget what these cowards & criminals with stars on their uniform did to our country & military because these crimes haven't stopped.

@BuzzPatterson @SecWar Like most decisions, I don’t think you can isolate to a single cause. Skepticism is probably a good starting point. Context is important, political realities, midterms the firing of Bondi. I wouldn’t necessarily conclude it was a result of steadfast opposition to ground invasion

BREAKING: @SecWar has fired the Army Chief of Staff. I don’t know anything about him. I’ll let the soldiers weigh in.

@allenanalysis Brian, re : alleged murder weapon & ballistics, was the finding inclusive or specific that bulletin did not match recovered firearm ?

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: New court filing: the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk does not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson. The murder weapon and the alleged murder weapon are not the same weapon. This is not a minor evidentiary dispute. If the bullet doesn’t match the gun — the prosecution’s case has a fundamental problem. Joe Kent said on Tucker Carlson that the NCTC investigation into Kirk’s death was stopped. Kent said Kirk’s last words to him were: stop us from getting into a war with Iran. Kent confirmed Kirk was under documented pressure from pro-Israel donors in the weeks before his death. The investigation was stopped. Now the bullet doesn’t match the gun.

@Mohened84261258 @RobertJMolnar The point was the Iranians have been preparing for this battle while we’ve been elsewhere. I am an American not an Israeli. Second IMO think Epic Fury is a strategic mistake. Most importantly,the massacre has already started and so far Iran has been on the receiving end

@FactChecke3215 @RobertJMolnar Iran is entirely different from Libya And I'm Libyan who studied Persian Iran is all your operations combined in terms of landmass/population From North Korea North Nam Iraq Kuwait Gaza South Lebanon North Yemen Iraq Serbia A massacre awaits

Iran has been planning for an invasion for many years....they fought Iraq for 8 fucking years..... No, dipshit, they have underground bases everywhere....they are not going to just mass their forces Braveheart style on the field of battle You magatards are desperate at this point

@sigismundsheir @RobertJMolnar I’m hoping…POTUS decides to cut his losses now, I doubt that will happen , more likely double, triple, quadruple down and dig an increasingly deeper hole

@sigismundsheir @RobertJMolnar Yeah no doubt we can devastate the Iranian conventional military and infrastructure. Iran’s asymmetrical strategy has put us in a bind.

So...like....a few thousand marines and 82nd airborne, lightly armed, gonna drop in and or land somewhere in Iran and do what exactly? Iraq is not going to let us stage hundred thousand troops and hardware, like tanks and IFVs and MRAPs etc.... Still not seeing an iota of object9ves and or planning and prep for a months lo g ground war Thia is fucking absurd We gonna see a lot of Iranian videos of their FPVs blowing our guys to bits, with that last still shot from. The camera where an American soldier looks at it about to hit him. Ukraine Russia style shit Americans are not ready for this war porn if it happens

@sigismundsheir @RobertJMolnar Yeah, what could possibly go wrong ? The uranium is presumably under rubble, they would need earth moving / excavation equipment and take massive indirect and then sling load the containers out of the country ? It’s nuts
