Can’t afford to lose this one regardless. No reason to either.

Care to define winning and losing in this case?

Some great news. Special Forces rescued the last downed pilot.

Therefore a Win. Everybody loves a winner Jerry. Losers slurp down breakfast shakes through broken jaws. We owe Iran a solid commitment to live & let live. The rest is up to them.

So this is about helping the Iranian people? Is that the standard for US military engagement in your opinion?

It should've never been started.

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”.

WSO rescued! Jollys, Sandys, MCs, and all involved are certified badasses and should never buy another drink in their lives. Sierra Hotel boys and girls! Best news I’ve heard in weeks.

We already won.

The trick now is to not also lose in the process. Not exactly sure what the path to that looks like.

They will or won’t help themselves. Hands off the rest of us. Seriously?

So hope is a strategy and an expensive one for US taxpayers and the industrialized world. Got it.

Now that inspires a lot of confidence that we have in fact won. I feel like we are just abusing the English language at this point.
