    Tsk… don’t be such a Debbie Downer! Remember, Patriot, every downed aircraft means another yacht for shareholders when the budget is renewed!

      And there’s always more young people to train as pilots - their deaths are necessary losses for the billionaires to make more money; and it’s not like its the billionaires’ kids in the planes lol. Just some middle-class schmuck’s offspring.

    How the fuck is the Pentagon trying to claim that no planes have been shot down while doing search and rescue missions over Iran for pilots that ejected from their F-15. Are we to believe they just decided to take a jump?

      All the media coverage is ‘crashed’ and ‘lost’ and other passive voice nonsense. It’s manufacturing consent garbage.

      It’s also so they can obfuscate events, such as maybe the reason they can’t find this WSO is he took shrapnel to his neck or something: they can also avoid reporting a fatality.
