The U.S. rescued two F-15E crew members from Iran, but lost an F-15E, HC-130J rescue aircraft, helicopters, drones and an A-10 during the operation. Analysts estimate the total cost may exceed US$2 billion, making it the most expensive combat rescue mission in modern military history.
At the very least they’re valuing the soldiers’ lives enough to spend so much on saving them. To be honest I completely expected the US forces to just forget about anyone lost on Iranian territory.
You think the guy who says WW2 soldiers who died are losers and suckers cares about a life?
He cares about the bad publicity. He “won the war in an hour”, and 5 weeks later is out losing jets and pilots?
It would look bad for him not to rescue, cause you goddamn know Iran would have made that an absolutely endless attack against him in the news if they caught the pilot first, put the pilot where their command was and dared Trump to bomb his own troops, which I fully believe he would do.
