Agreed.

As much as one might want their country to win, as an American who is 100% anti-war, incidents like this are definitely helpful to slowing the march to war and make it exponentially harder for Donald and Keg-breath to justify what they're doing.

See I get where you’re coming from and in a normal sane world you would be correct, but two things about this scenario worry me; the first is obviously that Trump is wildly unpredictable and prone to emotional decision making, especially when he thinks he might look bad or weak, and the other is that this sort of scenario and the bombing philosophy they are embracing is the exact reason to want to get nukes as soon as it was considered scientifically possible.

Edit: and when I say worry, I mean this shit keeps me up at night and impacts my psyche heavily. Hegseth canning the Army CoS ain’t helping either

In Trump's defence, he did not say how the boots would come down.

‘chutes on the ground.

Allegedly Kuwait shot down 3 of them before in a "friendly fire accident". Though the friendly fire story is getting a tad dubious.

He finds new ways to fail and embarrass us all.

Didnt kuwait shut down two of them ? F15 never lost an air fight, but getting shot down by aa is something else

slow clap

They're doing a "blackhawk down" and sending in tonnes of airforce to rescue the downed pilots and losing even more aircraft in the process. It's a complete clownshow.

If you join a military that has been doing war crimes, and starting illegal wars since before you were born, I have no sympathy if you die.

In the words of Trump to a soldier’s widow: “he knew what he signed up for”

Edit: pilots

F-15 has 1 pilot, one weapons officer.

Being a US Air Force pilot is like being a gas chamber operator during the Holocaust.
