“You see, shot down on a Friday, Good Friday; hidden in a cave, a crevice, all of Saturday; and rescued on Sunday,” Hegseth said. “Flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday, a pilot reborn.” in today's Washington Post headed "Trump says God supports U.S. cause in Iran war as he threatens wider bombing"

I'm not remotely religious but even I find this a disgusting misuse of Christianity as a means of supporting an illegal war which is killing thousands of innocent citizens. what an absolute disgrace.

Surely even Trump would not talk about dead airmen as if they are alive!

We can't put anything past him now.
He is completely 'beyond the pale'.

He is far beyond the pale but I'd still expect him to be parading the 'rescued' pilot at every possible opportunity.

Has the rescued airman been named? What about the other man? If so, I've missed that

The videos are all saying much the same.
It’s balony.
