It’s a war crime to offer a bounty to capture shot down pilots. And I’m sure Iran plans on treating any POWs according to the Geneva convention

Very European attitude to prefer sacrificing your own instead of beating savages

You are 100% correct, the point is that if you bomb said individual’s neighborhood, you might be killing innocent people who side with us.

For preventing a pilot from torture? Whose side are you on commie?

This could get out of hand quickly but I imagine special forces are already extraction them or about to have contact

They can fly above any real sandstorms. See them coming from way off as well.

If iRGC engaged with ground forces near the wreckage, that sounds to me like we had a rescue team picking the pilot up most likely?

That would be unfortunate, but I will take an American life over a handful of possible foreign allies. And importantly it would teach a painful lesson.

We definitely have the intelligence to be able to find out who exactly is the capturer (if it comes to that). How many Iranian regime supporters will want to follow official commands if they think it means we annihilate their neighborhood?

Maybe so, but CSAR elements don't constitute ground troops.

I recall Trump denounced John McCain for being shot down over enemy territory.

Pray for the pilot, I’m sure the QRF was well-within range for a PR mission.

Actually its 4 F-15s. The 3 taken down by friendly fire in Kuwait still count as lost airframes due to combat. Dont cherry pick stats like a democrat:

It’s fricking unreal. Part of the reason I disappeared for the last couple weeks. Or at least dialed it back.

He denounced McCain for being a spineless politician with destructive political views while appearing to be a “moderate” much like you.

They definitely don’t seem as decimated as we keep hearing.

I unfortunately predicted they’d shoot something down and all out war would break out. Here we go. A lot on here don’t understand this isn’t Venezuela.

The picture of the downed tail shows USAF Europe insignia.

If this is football, we are winning 63-3. Just because they got a field goal again our 3rd team, doesn't mean we werent dominating.

Its war, shite happens. The other side is occasionally going to get something.

Furthermore, you can have air superiority and the other side still have the occasional surface to air missile battery. Which is likely what happened here.
