Fox News is talking about sending in the Marines to rescue the downed American aviator in Iran

I think one of the primary problems with Hegseth is that he thinks Iranians aren’t smart. And yet they are humiliating us. They’re shooting down our aircraft worth 10s of millions of dollars and destroyed a $500 million radar thing.

Hey, why not ask NATO?! I know it is easy, and you can do it yourselves, but see it as a test for NATO.

Which means he should have some kind of backchannel to them to distract them from literally telling Iran on air that our troops are on the way. Amateur hour. I never wish harm on American service personnel, but hearing of these "double taps" makes me wonder if they're obeying illegal orders

Good Plan! That way, when some Marines get captured or killed we can send in more troops to rescue them and more troops to rescue them and more troops to rescue them and so on and so forth…..oh, and when we send in those additional troops, the Iranians will execute the pilot anyway. Great plan!

Are the Marines a rescue force? Sounds a little half cocked to me. What we do know is that Iran is alot more prepared and has thought this out than Rapepublicans ever thought they were. Could lead to more failures and an exhibition of our weaknesses much like Russia in Ukraine.

Delta Force was created in 1977 under the administration of President Jimmy Carter, formally established on November 19 of that year. The unit was founded by U.S. Army Colonel Charles Beckwith, who modeled it after the British Special Air Service (SAS).

Definitely. The Iranians are just watching. The overflights & search aircraft are flying unbothered. They are just waiting to let them show where remaining Airmen is.

How are they going to send in marines? Have they ever looked at a map of Iran? Where are they going to invade from that won't result in the deaths of thousands of marines?

The most devastating thing that Iran could do right now to the Trump/Hegseth/Netanyahu war effort would be to let the rescued airman go. It would completely undercut the narrative they are selling of the Iranian government as unreasonable warmongers and terrorists who won't negotiate.

This is like Charlie Kelly dropping a second cat into Sweet Dee's wall to retrieve the first cat that was already stuck in there. That operation went smoothly.

Air Force Search and Rescue is quite good at this. They already got one back, but the armchair warriors at Fox want to send in the Marines and start a ground war.

good thing we have a strict set of moral rules to follow called the laws of war, & both parties have agreed to keep POWs instead of killing on sight irregardless of surrender! oh shit....wait..... we forgot about the drunk fox news host who runs the department of war mongering!!!😭😭😭oops!!

The President was briefed. "Sir, here's a picture of an F-15'" "Sir, here's a picture of the pilot. A pilot is the person who flies the plane." "Sir, the plane was shot down & went boom, like this picture here." "Sir, here's your putter to finish up your 'birdie'." "Sir, tremendous round, again."

An indicator of a war being "won" as the felon president announced weeks ago, is when the instigator has a plane shot down over the country the instigator defeated. Oh wait...

Send the ICE goons to Iran. They’re really BIG on attacking ppl. They especially like shooting women in the face and VA nurses in the back about 10 times. Iranians will show those ICE goons who is boss quickly.

Drunky Hegseth has fired many ⬆️generals and calling the shots in this war. Our troops are doomed and that is NO exaggeration. Many MAGA are fighting this war. When will they or their families wake up to the realization they’ve elected a megalomaniac who cares NOTHING for human life.

I’d be real nervous about sending in slow movers when fast movers are being shot down. Normally I’d be all Team America, but the civilian leadership are asshats and Iran has teeth.

Well, that's where Pete matriculated in war theory afterall. Always a reason to get the public on the side of your war. Remember the Maine Gulf of Tonkin

One rescued and one missing. Pray for him. And let's hope he wasn't captured, because as Trump said of John McCain, "I like people who weren't captured."

Why do they always have to run through the chest thumping act? I have no doubt that ant rescue will be done professionally but this “we are the greatest” rhetoric sets expectations that may not match the realities on the ground.

At the same time NBC reported that we are closing a base in Qatar that houses Afghans who helped our troops in Afghanistan. The plan is to pay them to return to certain death . I hope today’s soldiers let that sink in . No one will ever help again.

What the Hell are we doing?We're endangering more of our military by having to do Search & Rescue with our Marines to save two pilots who wouldn't be in danger if tRump didn't have recurring Fever Dreams of capturing all the world's oil & our complicit GOP lawmakers weren't complicit in his madness?

They should send in all the Fox anchors. Slap some gear on em & tell them to get to the choppers. They should love it... they can complete their mission of making money for their billionaire masters by getting killed halfway across the world so some fat rich warmonger can buy a slightly nicer yacht

100% but Iran seems to have missiles under every rock and those rescue forces don’t travel all that quickly esp if they’re shooting down F15s Of course we can never rule out some false flag bs with these bozos.

This is such a horrible situation and I can't help but think that of everything he has done, this war will be the reason he leaves office early and he'll say it's for health reasons. He'll dump this mess into J.D.'s lap.

If that crew is captured we have to hope Iranians have more humanity than we have shown. The US sunk an unarmed, Iranian Naval ship that was participating in a friendly exorcise with no warning or declaration of war. The civilian head of US military said there would be “no rules”. We set the tone.

American media has always covered war thematically as entertainment. I don’t mean like as comedy or farce but in a way that overly simplifies the equities at stake and that heroism , no matter the odds, will always prevail.
