You know there is a huge structure in place to get downed pilots with a quickness and with violent support lol

Did you see the video of the male pilot in Kuwait? He had to get on his knees because some dumb Kuwaiti was about to hit him with a tire iron

He was genuinely scared. And why don't pilots have sidearms?

I saw that video. Looked like everyone handled the situation pretty damn well. What was the pilot supposed to do? Shoot 15 people from an allied country?

The “dumb Kuwati” thought the pilot might be Iranian.

To be honest, if a Kuwati jet crashed in my back 40, I'd probably grab a tire iron on the way to check it out, too.

And?? The point is whether they have a team to retrieve them or not there is danger with locals

Might be an Israeli jet. Or maybe the pilot hasn’t actually been recovered yet and they’re playing things close to the vest.

Perhaps, perhaps not.
Ask Daniel Pearl what he should've done not to get captured.

What strange times we live in. We have an American jet down in Iraq and the Iraqis are frantically searching to help him.

No, he was not scared. And he does have a sidearm. He knew where he was and that shooting his way out wasn’t possible and would cause an international incident. He was just buying time until he could get his blood chit out

Bruh,
This is America. Take a firearm, you should always have one handy.

That dumb Kuwaiti didn't see the American flag patch and the pilot took too long to say "American, American". Ol baw was about to dome him because he thought it was an Iranian pilot.

CENTCOM is saying “shot down” is baseless and not true
Apparently they changed the wording from “crash”, so unclear if a jet is down still

The real issue is why are the Iraqi Police still a thing? Those A-10s will be patrolling the streets pretty soon.

This is old footage from Kuwait the other day.
