What is your opinion on the photo of the downed American pilot?

Fortunate to land in kuwait. But I would also say that the US government should put it out there that anyone who treats US military personnel badly if they crash in their terroritory and does what happened in Mogadishu or to like that German jewish hostage HAMAS beat, raped, murdered and dragged naked through the streets... well the US government will personally hunt those individuals responsible down and brutally kill them at the first opportunity whether it be right after it or years down the line.

I saw the video they ended up helping him two seconds later when he told them he was American
Had he been Iranian it might have ended differently


Also with a stash like that it’s easy to know what inspired him to become a fighter pilot…

Its a mustache that projects so much aura

[madhatters4]

i say it's fortunate the plane landed in Kuwait, an ally of america, and the pilot was ultimately ok.

nowadays... I just have to assume that absolutely every picture and even video, can be AI

and that I have to sort of cross-reference sources, and even that... could be AI tricked as well

it sucks... lmfao

and this photo is just another example of that

[madhatters4]

real photo. one of the three F-15E Strike Eagles shot down on march 1st... this was in kuwait (US ally) so fortunately the people (man with the pipe) found out he was American and all ended ok

[NathanDavis]

@madhatters4 just because something happened for real... and I know it did, doesn't mean this photo or a video is also real

and that's the issue... and that was my point, lol

[madhatters4]

the photo is real. but yes i see what you mean. it's hard to know and it's right to question.

[NathanDavis]

@madhatters4 if you had to recommend one, but only one series to watch... which one would it be? The Sopranos? or Breaking Bad

[NathanDavis]

lol... I mixed the posts, so now I'll reply at the other

[AviatorTom]

As I understand it, 3 US jets were mistakenly shot down by the Kuwaitis as they flew over Kuwait, and the pilots safely ejected and are okay.

[permanentem]

As soon as he said he was American they all backed up.

[permanentem]

That was the idea he knew he was in friendly territory but that there was a language barrier. So he didn't want to attack his allies. He deescalated the situation and resolved it.

[KostasKouvalis]

Looks bad at first, but I saw the video. The guy backed off and appologized once he found out the guy is an American

[exitseven]

Any one of these that you can walk away from is a good one.

We are cannon fodder and our own allies shot down our taxpayer money jets.

[In_Trance]

Looks fake to me.
What kind of a pilot wears all that garb?

[purplepoppy]

If he survives he's never going to live it down.

[Agape93]

Eh his shit crashed. No real opinion to have

[Anonymous]

Nothing. It’s a photo.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Did the Iranian beat that boy to death?

[Jersey2]

No. He thought the pilot was Iranian. Another civilian told him he was American and all was well a moment later.

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Jersey2 Oh.
