...says it all.

It is simply stated, quite succinct and pretty much the only obvious solution to the world's most pressing problem.

It's disappointing to know those can take down our jets. They are relatively cheap and easy to hide vs our expensive fighter jets.

A better question is why a Strike Eagle was low enough to be in range of a MANPADS.

They were so concerned with traditional anti-aircraft defenses, they forgot about smaller portable weapons at relatively closer range.

Due to the weapons loadout they normally have. Illuminating one with a SAM's fire control radar ends badly for the radar. Strike Eagle's don't travel alone.

Hegseth fired too many qualified generals who know how to do the job correctly.

PeeWee Hogsbreath can keep playing his video game war like its a Mario Brothers Reunion. Wonder what it’s like to play a video game while you’re a blind drunk.

Regardless of the immoral nature of deciding to attack Iran, outside of a few cases like this, Iran's military isn't nearly as capable as they claim as evidenced by the fact that they can't do much more than hitting a few oil industrial facilities in the region and semi-block the strait.

Iraq did better then that:
During the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), Coalition forces lost a total of 75 aircraft. Of these, 37 were fixed-wing combat aircraft and 23 were helicopters lost in combat, with the remainder lost due to operational accidents.
