FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S.
Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

But, but, I was told that the president was near death at Walter Reed.

It'll be interesting to hear the full story. If we he was just hiding and evading or actually taking Iranian military guys out.

Just think, most of them still continue to say they voted for him 3 times while they completely melt down about how much they hate him.

Probably a stupid question, but assuming he wasn’t armed when he went down right? What type of training do pilots get for this situation, if any? How does he make comms?

Why would he not be armed?

Pilots carry a radio, a side arm and usually a M4 carbine, depending on platform of aircraft.

You think that was a "compliment"?
He was just making the point that no matter which side you stand on, this is a proud moment and achievement.
It's a weird thing for you to focus on

It is said they are armed with an AR15 style rifle under their ejection seats with two 30 round mags, plus their pistols. I mean it’s something but not much if you have a lot of enemy coming on you. I would save the last bullet or two for myself instead of letting them take me alive.

That's actually a very nice and respectful post.
You put too much into it. I don't see one misspelled word, I don't see one sentence not all capitals. He didn't refer to them as dirty dog Dems.
