Well, considering it has been on Fox News all morning, I would say so.

Thankfully, one of the crew was rescued safely. Unknown whether it’s the Pilot or WSO, nor what the status of the other crewmember is.
Mad props to the Hurc and Jolly’s for going feet dry in daytime. “That others may live”.

This is why so many of us say words matter. When senior leadership says something, it resonates. From calling people who don't agree with you on politics "The enemy" to threatening nations with "No quarter". You cannot be in a position of leadership and act the way people in power are acting. People will listen to the message and respond to it. Many might simply criticize it, others may take physical action.

Why else would senior military leadership be getting fired if the war isn't heading that direction? Do you think that they got fired because they were chomping at the bit to get into a ground war in Iran or because they were pointing out that we'd be sending our young men into a meat grinder and suffer a humiliating defeat?

Dissent within military leadership clearly will not be tolerated moving forward.
"Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, offered his view on why he believes US generals are being dismissed by Hegseth.
“It’s likely that experienced generals are telling Hegseth his Iran war plans are unworkable, disastrous, and deadly,” Murphy said in a Friday post on X.
“Hegseth is firing a ton of experienced generals right now,” he added."
