The morning broke with news of a large-scale US operation to supposedly extract the second downed pilot from Iran, who had ejected from his shot-down F-15E on Thursday.
that quote is not from aeschylus, and it’s much more modern, since “truth” in warfare during ancient times wasn’t what we would consider today as “information warfare”, but rather deceptions in the battlefield
They downed 2 pilots.
What is an A-10, an air to ground, anti-tank support aircraft and a F15e doing so deep into Iran territory? Found the airstrip the C130 landed and it is south of Tehran. Why are they there?
Why use C-130s to carry a so-called rescue mission? A large cargo plane that needs to land? When a far more nimble helicopter(s) could be used along with air support? With no need for an air strip and not provide such large and slow heat seeking missile/radar profile to hit?
Something else is going on. The downed pilot seems like a cover. Will see what I can find. But his is all very sus to me.
This speaks to a more general problem I’m having following this war: struggling to find actual factual reports from what’s happening.
Between Trump’s unhinged tweets and Hegseth’s bloodthirsty machismo, trying to get anything from the US is like talking to a bucket.
The first casualty in war is truth. Aeschylus

Personally, I think it is BS.
