I had the same question. I had to click on the tweet and follow it back to X to see that there's a part of his message that's not shown in the post.

I don’t have x, so I never see the whole threads. It asks me to login which I cannot do.

Okay I am seeing what I am assuming to be on social media is misinformation that there has been reports of the Left wishing the rescues of our servicemen to fail. Has anyone seen it being posted or can confirm it from reliable sources?

I have seen a number of social media posts calling the rescue a failure because we had to blow up 2* aircraft. Saying Trump and SECWAR are falsely claiming this a victory. Are these real people or bots? Don't know.

I'd say the above qualifies for wanting it to fail if you ignore that we brought our guys home while focusing on 2* destroyed aircraft.

2* because these posts never mention the MH-6 which leads me to think they are either bots or people paid to vomit the same message. Both are prevalent on social media.

We have blown up more of our own aircraft in Iran over the years than they have shot down…

Fighter mafia gonna fighter mafia.

Which is true but some of that is in an interesting place with a couple of airlift and one SOF guy among the last 10...with the rest coming from fighters. No argument with you on that.

I know some aren't aware, but the Rescue Squadrons fall under Air Combat Command, aka Big Air Force. Special Tactics falls under AFSOC, but not the traditional rescue community. I know that caused problems as ACC and AFSOC duke it out over the RQS'. I vaguely recall some drama over CSAR during Desert Storm but not enough memory to speak to the details.

Insult to injury is this turd whom you can search for on here. His time in charge of AFSOC was viewed as...less than favorable by the rank and file.

With part of the PJ community falling under AFSOC and part under ACC, I can only imagine the political nonsense encountered by the career field.

Maybe I'm still missing something here. Isn't Kent trying to say Iran is pushing this misinformation or propaganda?

Some people are interpreting his X post as repeating Iranian propaganda. I don't interpret it that way, but at the same time it's technically accurate. He probably should have caveated better.

I didn't take it that way. I think Kent lives in some people's head for free.

There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

I'm not going to lie. I have no reason to, it doesn't give me an advantage or an angle. That video? It gave me a massive freedom boner. When this thing went down I told my wife it's either going to be another Eagle Claw, or we are going to just kick ass and do it right.

Wasn't tracking that the news about a second pilot was leaked.

I am a conspiracy theorist, no reason to believe what I am about to say. It was 6, 2x 130s (MC) and 4x little birds. Allegedly.

Man… When it comes to this particular topic, there is not much that you personally could post in here that I would doubt.

This may be an OPSEC violation, but sometimes we need to know the real story and this one is simply too important not to share:

Read the tweet he quoted, the Drop-Site is an Iranian media owned site that his wife randomly published an article on.

Drop-Site is an American owned site. No idea where you got that Iran owns them.

The Drop-Site tweet in question is a follow-up from them quoting Jack Murphy saying the WSO was rescued. Maybe it's just the way I'm interpreting it, but with that context the tweet seems to be more showing that the Iranians are verifying the bombings were happening, not that they "caught the pilot".

So my inner gun nerd is dying to ask this: does every fighter crew get the folding M4 survival carbine? Did both the pilot and WSO each have one? Asking for a shitposter on reddit who wants to start trolling the larp hards.

You're correct, I confused it for the Gray Zone since the tweet was parroting Iranian propaganda.

Something that needs to discussed is how Jack Murphy is still sourced well enough to break this.
