The wreckage and remains of the crashed US aircraft in central Iran. SEPAH NEWS/AFP via Getty Images The Issue: The US military’s rescue of a missing crewman from a downed fighter jet in Iran.
The rescue of the downed airman only assures all Americans that we have the best armed forces in the world (“Downed airman’s ‘safe & sound,’ ” April 5).
As a Korean war Navy veteran, I heard many stories of similar rescues. They did it right then, and did it right now.
But the real problem is how did Iran get what appears to be heat-seeking missiles? It did not have them before, and all of a sudden it has them now. Trump should bomb the Iranians until they can’t recover for at least a century.
You’re all over yourself saying that since the United States rescued an airman in Iran under difficult circumstances, it means we will win the war. Come to your senses and get a grip; rescue missions have no connection to winning wars.
Having come of age in the era of President Jimmy Carter, I remember previous wreckage, skeletal military debris and, sadly, some human carnage in parts of the seemingly godforsaken Persian desert.
But this time, whoa; what a crucial insertion and rescue operation by Trump. Even if he’s not your cup of tea, he is the free-world’s actual defender and is in it to win it.
Our government should not be telling everyone how the crew member was rescued, nor should you be printing it. What happened to discretion and common sense?
The pilot, despite injuries, was a man of steel, determined to escape capture.
He made it up a ragged 7,000 foot mountain to put himself in a place to be rescued. With bravery, intestinal fortitude and sheer determination, he is a beacon of true grit!
While the end result of the Iran War is yet to be determined, one thing is certain: Trump’s recovery of Americans trapped in Iran was far more successful than Carter’s.
It was an Easter and Passover miracle that our outstanding military was able to save our American warrior from Iran.
Most Americans are ecstatic with the news, except for the Democrats who were on the Sunday shows. Their Trump Derangement was evident in their call for the 25th Amendment. They truly hate America.
The Issue: Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s husband being exposed as a cross-dresser.
Your article on the kinky proclivities of Kristi Noem’s husband leaves the obvious connection unsaid (“Kristi’s kink hub pleasure chest,” April 1).
At the same time he was indulging himself by acting out bizarre sexual fantasies, his wife was allegedly parading herself as a sex partner with Corey Lewandowski. Both profited from titillation, but she did it on the taxpayers’ dime.
Bryon’s been busted. While Kristi was out working, he was flirting with his deviances.
It never ceases to amaze me how someone can be “happily” married and live with their partner not knowing who they really are and what they’re up to.
In the Trump administration, if your husband is outed as a cross-dresser, you are qualified for endless embarrassment from the mainstream media. In the Biden administration, it qualified you to be a deputy assistant secretary in the energy department.
