Excellent essay. The quality of your analysis and writing is evidenced by the devotion of the trolls you attract!

If this is indicative of Polish and French thinking then we may dispose of both as faithless- as indeed France was to Poland in 1940. Neither needs us, we neither should have any lingering attachment to either.

What happened to all that military kit?

Alex, thank you for an excellent article giving another example of what makes our country as great as it is.

Europeans put a price on their soldiers’ helmets. Good to know if you’re one of their soldiers. Check your helmet.

Those sneering at America’s commitment to rescue her soldiers at all costs expose their own nations’ self-imposed weaknesses by trying to make a virtue of their inability to do likewise. It’s simple; we do this because we can. They don’t because they can’t. And it’s not just that we have more planes, helicopters, etc. We’ve committed enormous resources to training generations of leaders who are drawn from our best and brightest. Since the snatching of the Venezuelan president, our leaders have shown the world not just that we’re bigger and stronger than all of them put together, but that we’re also a hellava lot smarter than that clumsy, bloodthirsty caricatured American that lives rent-free in their narrow little minds. For all their vaunted self-proclaimed sophistication, their failure of imagination is epic. I can’t take seriously anyone whose own military can’t even muster a handful of planes or ships to defend themselves.

I could only imagine what would have happened had Iran caught the airman. They would have tortured him, videotaped him in humiliating conditions, and likely publicly beheaded him or hanged him. It would have been brutal and would have had horrendous effect on morale of our country and our military.

Well said! Thank you.

YES, YES, YES. You understand it, Alex. Not many do. Thank God Pete Hegseth does, and those that serve under him.

Y’all are retarded. There was no rescue mission. It was a failed attempt to go after the enriched uranium. You don’t use two c-130 to pick up one guy. Hahhaha

Man you β€œMurica! Fuck yeah!” Morons are so brainwashed.

I am guessing you are from one of those European countries who need us over there to protect you from Russia. Maybe it's time you learned to take care of yourselves, though I doubt you are capable of it. You have needed us to save you for the past 100+ years.

No one in Europe has ever needed American to β€œprotect” them from anything. In fact the only problem in Europe is USA involvement. Kindly take all your bases out of europe and stay the fuck out.

goatsRstillgruffy's avatar

I have a feeling we will be doing exactly that in the near future.

Good luck trying to be free over there. But then I guess many Europeans have become accustomed to not having much freedom remaining now that you have voted communists into power over the past 15-20 years. Enjoy your hot summers and cold winters sans power.

The ONLY problem in Europe is that your Jew cabal that runs your whole cuntry like it’s own blow-up doll also dictates who we get governed by: the same pedovores you have as politicians. Absent HUNDREDS of US bases in Europe and the Jew money that comes with it we’ll finally be free of the usual US CIA involvement like the many false flags all over Europe perpetrated by the US as they do all over the world. Seriously, USA needs to fucking stay home. We’re fine. Need absolutely NOTHING from the USA. Yankee go home!

And there it is. You must be German……. 🀑

The Kurgan's avatar

Nope. But you ALL need to fuck off and stay in your own CUNT-ry. Regardless of where anyone else is from.

Had to bring in troops and Little Birds

The Kurgan's avatar

It’s nonsense. And tell me, how did the 200+ men of two c-130 loads all get out again? Jetpacks? Oh wait they only had a few guys in each right? Ok, and then they could not use the little birds to secure the extraction by…. Magic fairies that spirited them away?

skbunny's avatar

I understand that other planes, helicopters were brought in for extraction.

Great article, thought provoking. I believe this article and comments says more about the critics than it says about the no man left behind philosophy. I will make one correction however. Israel will and has spent time treasure and blood to recover remains of fallen soldiers and airmen.

That said, life seems much more valuable to civilizations that adopt the Judeo-Christian ethos. John 15:13: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" comes to mind. Would a brother soldier give 100% effort if in the back of his mind he knew his life was simply expendable? Mogadishu comes to mind. How would DJT have handled that rescue?

In contrast, Islam brainwashes it's adherents that death is the highest sacrifice. How can a Muslim mother strap a suicide vest on her child? How can Muslim parents send their children into a minefield to clear a path for soldiers? Will Iran lower the age of military recruits to 12? Islam teaches hate towards the West beginning in grade school. Contrary to GWB, Islam is not a religion of peace.

As a civilian today, I am walking a little taller knowing I have a Commander in Chief that is not fighting a politically correct war. A CiC that will go to extreme to save that one precious American life. Did I cringe at the equipment loss during this operation? You bet. There will be a complete de-brief, lessons learned and procedures changed. The next exfil will be safer, faster and more efficient. I pray there won't be a next time.

You never fail to impress me, not just with your homework but with your choice of topics. Thank you!

Sometimes there is nothing left to do but fight. Partitioned Poland would not understand that.
