Christmas thoughts out to Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh
You may not have heard, but Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh, a Jordanian F-16 pilot fell into the hands of those thugs in ISIS yesterday. According to the US military, his craft wasn’t shot down as those ISIS fellows claim.
My normal cheer this time of year has been tempered by this news, because, yeah, Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh isn’t a Christian and this holy day has no meaning to him, but anyone engaged in the wholesale slaughter of ISIS is my brother.
He’s probably having a bad day today and it’s only going to get worse. If you can find it in your heart, please wish the best for him to whichever diety you converse. And mention some comfort for his father, while you’re at it.

Salaam, 1stLt al-Kaseasbeh. May you be returned – alive and good health – to your homeland soon.
Jordon is a long time ally.
As far as I am concerned, he is one of ours and we must go get him!
MCPO is, as usual, spot-on.
There are a lot of Coalition Warriors that are with their Families this Christmas, as opposed to being represented by a Gold Star in a window, due to the actions of Jordan’s military and government personnel. Most of these actions will unknown and unsung most.

My whichever God he worships find it in him to return him safe and soon.
Prayers for his safe return to his family & friends. He was standing the watch in our collective fight against evil, so yeah, he’s one of us.
May the Creator comfort you and your family at this time as you stand in front of the enemies of humanity.
Anyone that drops ordinance on ISIS heads is a brother warrior. I’ll raise a glass for his service and a prayer for his safe return. Merry Christmas to everyone out there and a big fuck you to the phony lawyer out west.
I used to live in Jordan, and I have a deep love for the people. I have spent some quality time with their military, and they have a much higher proportion of warriors in their military than most other militaries I have worked with.
If this war should spill into Jordan, I would fight alongside their troops in a heartbeat. No reservations.
We better do everything we can to get this officer back. I can only imagine.
Fuck ISIS. Cowards.
Prayers UP!
