The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

@TheCassandraFX @the_jefferymead @Arrogance_0024 So much so that you're okay with sacrificing more... Doesn't make sense, no matter how you try to weave around it...

@the_jefferymead @Arrogance_0024 Plus—apparently—we value the lives of our trained soldiers more than those whining about it.

🤔 Relevant Data Points and My Thoughts Data Points: 🔹 The alleged "F-15E" crash site has been geolocated to a site not far from Isfahan and the Natanz nuclear site. 🔹 The HC-130J can carry TWO MH-6 "Little Bird" helicopters + ~10 troops. 🔹 The HC-130J can carry ONE MH-6 and ~60 troops. 🔹 Absent any MH-6 helicopters, the HC-130J can carry ~90 troops or ~64 paratroopers (as in soldiers fully loaded to jump out of them). 🔹 HC-130Js have no purpose in the context of a CSAR mission to rescue a single pilot. My Thoughts: 🔹 A pilot rescue is clearly not the whole story. 🔹 The proximity of the action to Isfahan and Natanz lends credence to the theory that the REAL object of this mission was to seize nuclear materials (as absurd as that mission would have been!). 🔹 It is probable that MORE than TWO HC-130Js were involved. 🔹 The bare-dirt agricultural airstrip was undoubtedly known and mapped as an emergency ditching site, but was NOT envisioned as an operational drop zone. 🔹 The foolhardy mission flew into an Iranian ambush, and TWO of the HC-130Js were hit, and forced to use the agricultural airstrip as an emergency ditching site, where they crash-landed hard with their full loads, and were disabled. 🔹 The Iranians attempted to rush troops and firepower to the remote site in order to encircle the stranded aircraft and troops (according to the IRGC spokesman). 🔹 The US managed to rush 3 Airbus C-295s to the site to evacuate the stranded aircrew and troops. 🔹 As the IRGC spokesman himself claimed in his report from earlier today, the US used jet aircraft to bomb to smithereens the stranded HC-130Js and the off-loaded MH-6 helicopters. 🔹 After absorbing the shocking results of the failed mission, the US triumphantly claimed the pilot was rescued, the operation was a brilliant success, and the US has the greatest military in human history. Anyway, these are my thoughts for now. I reserve the right to amend them as more information becomes available.

@YaxsyMand True. What we have now is civilian dictocracy....

@malahbu But that is true democracy

Please educate me. Can't a ruling party give the ticket to another contestant? Must it be the incumbent? Is it Party policy?

Rotimi Amaechi has, across defining moments of Nigeria’s political history, consistently positioned himself on the side of the people. From his days as a student leader, where he confronted military at personal risk, to his tenure as Governor, where he dismantled entrenched 1/4

@secretchipa @ShaykhSulaiman 💯

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman lol it would be nice if the Pentagon respected them and their families but they’ll go to all lengths to create a propaganda story out of anything

@BpWhybri @ShaykhSulaiman You are in severe pains 🥶😞... And you don't know what honor means. You Magat fool.

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman It would be more “honorable” to yourself and your family if you would just shut the fuck up and research or maybe even think a tad before throwing out ignorant statements you have not a clue of what you are speaking of. What ignorance. Go away

@MarkHen11254156 @ShaykhSulaiman Okay...

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman Dude this a photo of a person that unfortunately burned in a car, this is a burned car not an aircraft

@ShaykhSulaiman He is just clowning. Too much talk, less bite. Can't do worse than he has already done unless he's thinking of using nuclear.

JUST IN: TRUMP: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”

@squirrelpalooza @ShaykhSulaiman Exactly. Why lie? It is better not to say anything.

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman I don't get lying about all this since by now the military knows Iran will reveal photos of anything they find. USians already overwhelmingly don't support this war. They're not convincing anyone to change their mind lol

Donald Trump when asked how he plans to open the strait

@julfazzlee @ShaykhSulaiman Then US should stop Israel from executing Palestinians.

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman and also Iran has declared that they will start executing POWs if Israel proceeds with executing Palestinian 'hostages' under the newly passed 'inhumane' law

@AdyPutr99701794 @ShaykhSulaiman Okay.. it makes sense but at least let them admit the aircrafts have been shot down.

@malahbu @ShaykhSulaiman It's not that easy, forguso😅 what's more, pilots have data and technology to carry.

@BolanleCole Good for them. Better than paying rent. The rent money will be used to complete the house. One day they will move into a bigger and better house. The journey starts here.

She and her husband moved into their uncompleted building to avoid rent. Congratulations👏🏿👏🏿

Only 35 days of war with Iran and he is already saying Allahu Akbar.

Former CIA counterterrorism chief says there’s a “complete blackout” on “the actual amount of damage” done to US bases and buildings, after it was revealed that Iran penetrated Saudi air defenses, blew a hole in the exterior of the American embassy, then sent a drone through it to destroy the most secure areas. Iran “was able to produce an indigenously made weapon, fire it across hundreds of miles and put it into the embassy of their top opponent, which means they could have hit anything they wanted in the city,” he says.
