Link broken?

Looks like it's a Jordanian pilot.

I'm looking forward to hearing about the rescue and the significant casualties it causes ISIS.

Mang oh mang

I hope NONE of you ever worked in an S-2 shop. The link was bad when he first posted it, and several web searches returned NOTHING. Nada. Bupkis. If an American was REALLY down that would be ALL OVER the effin web.

The Jordanian pilot article, for those of you not paying attention, was posted in DECEMBER of last year, and there was quite a bit posted about his immolation in a cage by ISIS. He is already long dead, so you can recall Rambo before he kills a bunch of people.

The only interesting factoid that I came upon while wasting my time fact-checking the OP was that that poor Jordanian wasn't even shot down by ISIS. He was shot down by a UAE pilot flying top-cover, cause you never know when the ISIS air force is gonna jump you from above.

But it is all good, as the UAE major was female, its only female pilot, and we all know HOW IMPORTANT it is to have diversity in fighting forces. Hey, couple of ours get shot down by ours, caged, and burned to death, it is totally worth it in the name of vibrant diversity.

But hey, keep us abreast of ANYTHING anyone posts on the net. Don't wanna miss it.

The power of the blogosphere to misinterpret, misinform, and - as some form of logical fallacy deification - rise again.
