    Hell no, y'all. Come on, Republican pals, make some phone calls. You don't really want to make historic bad budget decisions for an elective war, do you? Really?

    How does spending a trillion dollars we don't have for a war we don't need make America great in any way? It doesn't. Call your reps, tell them enough is enough. You voted for "no new wars "and you voted for Trvmp to put "America first." This military spending puts the well-being of American taxpayers last.

    With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A “GUSHER” FOR THE WORLD??? President DONALD J. TRUMP

    @astros123 is praying the other pilot is captured by Iranians because he thinks they will feed him kabob and have tea. Terrorists supporting 7 eleven buddy here.

    You're the one that thinks it's a good idea to put our service members in harms way for no good reason. So you're the one that is praying they are hurt or worse, killed.

    In all of Iraq and Afghanistan, there were 10 planes lost. However, nine were on the ground (same incident) and the other was an A-10 Warthog.

    But don't worry, our President is on top of things. Here's his first post after news of the F-15 going down:

    Your dumbass words don't effect me cuz I've done more for America than your loser self will. You claimed in this thread this war was about liberating the Iranian people ND now your cult hero wants to bomb them to the stone age. You people have no idea what you believe in

    only washed and shrinking by the hour MAGA as well as hardcore Zionists view Israel as an ally

    they need all the money and weapons in the world, but they can never provide anything of value themselves

    whenever they’re needed, poof, they disappear…but they have so much control over us that none of our politicians will say a word

    the obese demented orange was crying like a b*tch because nations that had nothing to do with this illegal war didn’t want to send ships and troops to reopen the Strait of Hormuz…meanwhile, Israel, the one that dragged us into this is providing no real assistance and it’s crickets

    The US military has been too fighting insurgents for decades that we're completely unprepared to even fight Iran.

    This isn’t funny. Using an American pilot’s possible harm as a joke or political point is way over the line.

    Never thought I’d miss that old mother****er like I do. All I can say is that I hope the pain hits y’all hard and close to home very soon.

    "completely unprepared" is a stretch. War is messy, extremely, and Iran isn't a pushover country. Versus the military, the US executive leadership is completely unprepared to make better foreign policy decisions and they seem determined to keep ridding themselves of expertise and common sense to boot.

    On the new news of the downed plane, I think a poster warned us about the warthog being "low and slow" -- was it @Ottomaton?

    I believe that was me.

    Had a relative who was an Air Force fighter jock. Flew in Vietnam and eventually worked his way up to leadership. To make his way up the ladder, he knew he had to take a post where he flew A-10s. He hated it and thought they were a death trap. Couldn't get that box checked fast enough. That was in the 1980s.

    And now those crew members will be paraded in front of our disinterested President and idiot Secretary of War Crimes so Republicans can bask in the stolen valor.
