Trump says second American airman rescued alive and well.

No man left behind.

I very much hope this report is accurate and that the airman is now safe.

In the BBC report there were quite a few "according to Trump" type qualifiers which made me wonder how much of the news is true as Trump is famous for being a dishonest fantasist and a compulsive liar.

The reasons Trump started his illegal war were largely manufactured by his deranged mind.

The Epstein files are not just going to go away.

Too true. When this is over Mister Trump will have to face up to Epstein still reaching out to him from beyond the grave.

AGAA4 If the plane and pilot hadn’t been dropping bombs on innocent people he wouldn,t have had to worry about being captured!
No life is worth more than his …
AI see ISRAELIS BEMOANING ABOUT BIMBINGS TO AND ABOUT A death of a child…pity they didn,t realise what they were doing when thousands of babies and children were being bombed by them ….but of course they think they are superior to Palestinians and have shown that for decades by their abhorrent treatment.
It really is time these warmongers were brought to justice..Tru,mp amd Netanyahu must be brought to justice for the bombings in several countries in the middle east .
Surely there’s no support from people with any sense or empathy

I think it must be true.
Surely even Trump wouldn’t be foolish enough to lie about this?

Oh, as Aveline says, I think His depths of foolishness know no bounds, JenniferEccles

I do hope this is not fake propaganda.

The pilot and aircrew are following orders.
Do you think they should have unilaterally refused to go?

If the whole of the US Forces mutinied and refused to do the bidding of their Commander-in-Chief who never served a day in his life, now that would be a different matter!

This needs verification from another reliable source.

But if it is true - how relieved his/her family must be.

It would be an elaborate fiction to construct and maintain for propaganda reasons.
Time will tell.

So you think the pilots and crews should have mutinied?
Do they still have the death penalty for mutineers in the USA?

It's already happening Allira. How many generals have resigned? 30 last time I looked.

Resigning would be the only way the generals could get out of a war they don't feel is right. They aren't going to mutiny as they know Trump would just fire them.
Trump loses more and more decent men and leaves the sycophants and zealots to do his bidding xxx

Oh, interesting.
Must keep up.

Chief of staff of the military sacked too.

You daren't stand up to Trump or refuse to do what he wants.
He is a dictator.

I hate to think what would have happened to him if captured. Very relieved that he's in safe hands now.

Sometimes when I watch the almost daily briefings from the White House, I think Donald Trump thinks he's still on the apprentice, particularly when Keith Hegseth is beside him.

Time someone pointed the finger at him and said "You're Fired!"

😂 Good one Allira

If a pilot does not want to fly he can stand down at any time and leave the airforce or do ground duties, there will be a queue of others to take his place.

Pilots are a breed on their own, you live on the edge, take the risks, try to beat the odds every day. You are one of the privileged few, to fly an aeroplane costing $10s or in some cases £100s of millions of dollars, you strive to be the best.
It's very macho, mostly men of course only a few women want to compete at that level, amongst the few the leader of our Red Arrows is a woman this year

It's all very well being fired up and macho, and defending your country, but when you are commanded to commit war crimes?

I think you should be very careful with your choice of language .... do you know the definition of a 'war crime' ?
Are you accusing these airmen of 'war crimes'?

This is an illegal war. Many generals have resigned rather than commit an illegal act.

These generals seem to have been forced out rather than them resigning.

This rescue appears to have been quite an audacious recovery. Excellent news that he's safe.

Forced out as they wouldn't agree to Trump's demands. He is getting rid of anyone who has morals and backbone.

I didn't realise you were an expert on the Air Force, too, David49.

macho Really?
I think you've been watching Top Gun.

The second man to be rescued is apparently a Colonel and a weapon systems officer, a highly complex job involving reading four radar screens at once.
