Trump announces press conference after rescue of ‘seriously wounded’ F-15E crew member
President Donald Trump says he and members of the military will hold a press conference at the White House on Monday after the successful rescue of the second F-15E crew member shot down over Iran.
Trump said the crew member, a colonel, is “seriously wounded,” but offered no further details about his injuries.
“We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel,” Trump wrote.
“This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment.’ It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran,” he continued.
“An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all! I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS!” Trump added.
Bravo Zulu! More details to come, sounds like one for the books. All teasing aside for the moment, Air Force PJs are BAMFS and nobody does CSAR better.

An Obama appointed Federal Judge will order the rescued pilot returned to Iranian custody.
Perhaps we can do a swap, and send the judge in his stead. Seems like a fair swap to me.
We are sending two California liberals instead.
Excellent, Hack!!!!
What a great thing to read first thing this Easter morning!
At $300,000,000 in lost/ destroyed equipment it was expensive, but worth it.
Hopefully we won’t have to do that again.
1) If you expect to fight a war without loses, you haven’t been paying attention to the last 10k of human history.
2) We plan to fight and win with no losses, but the enemy has a say, and they all make their plans and try to execute them.
3) This war is going great! We smash, test all our toys, the ones of us who sign up to fight get to fight and prove we are really that good, and our enemies humbly recalculate their running estimates of how well they can perform against the might of the USA.
We certainly identified a weakness in our drone and missile defenses. Hopefully they will take that stuff seriously now instead of as an afterthought. If we had gone full bore into a war with a near peer it could have been catastrophic.
