Someday there is going to be a movie made about this rescue mission in Iran.
But man, what a morale booster for our military to know that the Secretary of War and Commander-in-Chief will blow up $300 million worth of our own military aircraft to rescue one US soldier.
No man left behind!
God bless our troops!
Military personnel matter to President Trump. At $300 million a troop the 1.3 million people in uniform means they are worth 390 trillion dollars (a million times a million is a trillion).
To Joe Biden, they were worth nothing.
He left 13 behind to die in Afghanistan and he looked at his watch repeatedly when their bodies came home.
But for a moment, look at our military’s rescue through the eyes of the enemy.
Iran had two men downed inside Iran and somehow its military was unable to find them, while the military from a nation thousands of miles away rescued them. It was like a groundball going through a fielder’s legs and costing his team a World Series game.
The rescue feels like victory because it is.
