The USA really tried in the rescue ,a lot of efforts were put in place and resources sacrificed just to save one person .

The USA has an advantage of exact location due to pinging but Iranians didn't ,and they had to comb a very large area but the only weakness of Iran is the inability to dominate the search area . Though they successfully downed more aircrafts,they shouldn't have allowed foreign power an operation in their country,that's lack of dominance in the search area .

However ,this events will reset both parties brain ,the USA will think twice before carrying air or ground operations in Iran now and Iran will put more effort to tackle the resolve of their enemies.
very true.

Ok. Maybe $300m to rescue a pilot shot down by Iran.

What Iran wants is for the war to be as costly to USA/Israel as possible.

The war was unnecessary in the first place.

In Bongo, a general will be captured, killed and decapitated and nobody and nothing will be done... The reward is to integrate the terrorists into Nigeria army

Let’s assume any country attacks US mainland, they’ll be having a bad day and bleeding nose because even the citizens have armory and are good with weapons
That is when you will see correct madness. They will not have a bad day. They will have a terrible day and forever regret trying it. You will see how crazy and proud American citizens are because they don't joke with their country.

God's own country for a reason, they never leave no one behind, that's what makes America great.
God bless America, I love America

Another near-USA is Israel..

They don't mind mapping out a whole country to collect their d.ead.

Here a whole town can be burnt by terr0rist over hours, you can't find any security on ground.

We can only admire from afar.

The question here is all the aircrafts that were shot down, which one of them was stealth? Answer is none!!!

Anyone who thinks there were no further casualties in this operation must be assuming too much at this stage.
I've not seen anything to suggest any such. Mere cursory examination of the available photos shows both downed aircraft wrecks in the exact same location. What is the likelihood of two separate aircraft crashing within 20 - 30 feet of each other? That fits the U.S narrative of having self-destructed the aircraft due to the inability to evacuate them at the time. This is a well-known U.S operational tactic which was also used in the Bin Laden raid when one of the helicopters was damaged during the landing.

There is no word such as the bold.
Just say "might"
Mightiness refers to the quality of possessing great power, physical strength, authority, or grandeur. It often describes immense capacity, such as in "the mightiness of God's creation" or a, "mightiness of King Lear's rage". It is frequently used in literary contexts to denote supreme power or magnitude.

See the bold in my explanation below.

As I explained -

I still dislike it. Sounds like saying "strengthness." There is a tautology inherent in that.

Anyone who has a real understanding of English will understand what I am saying.

The quality of being strong is called strength. You don't need to add "Ness" to it. The quality of being mighty is called might. You don't need to add anything to it.

At best it is an archaic usage that can only be found in drama or some poetry with poetic license.

Mightiness is not current proper usage but anyone can write what they like.

I sha advise you not to use it in civilised or polished company. They will snigger at you.

the war is more costly for Iran, most Iranian cities are in rubbles, major critical infrastructure bombed to oblivion, it will take them decades to recover.

I watched it on FOX TV, how the second Airman was rescued. USA military are powerful and daring in their operation. Nothing will be allowed around the operation radius. Laser designator, armed C130, fighter jet and Apaches will be hitting up enemies.

See how they are deploying resources to find pilot like it's the president they are rescuing.

If you consider the two aircraft the US destroyed on their way out, they spent close to 500 million usd to find one pilot.

You cannot claim to control an air space when your plane is at risk of being shut down by enemy fire.

Do you people even reason?🤦🏽
So how was the pilot rescued?
The rescue team came in by train?

I know say you get sense, na just overconfidence no dey make you use am often.

They care as much for ANY and ALL of their citizens, not necessarily soldiers.

The day my guy told me he has become a US citizen, I told him he's now one of the most valuable people on earth.

U see, for one American soldier abi. Boko haram and iswap dey waste our own soldiers in dozens daily because of govt complacency just for their selfish interest

For those of u underating American military, it's only ignorance that I see as ur problem.
Since the beginning of the war a month ago, America had been parading themselves in Iranian airspace without restrictions and u are only able to shoot down one pla e ever since and u are jumping around. They should try and move close to American Airspace too nah.

As far as the world is concerned, America has the highest military prowess. Russia is the next country that will come close before China. The Ukraine was has helped deplete Russia to an extent
Ukraine ma don mature ooo. Ukraine just dey Press Russia like Smaller Breast for that their corner.

Ogbeni believes whatever lies you choose to tell yourself you hear. The US controls the sky. Iran no longer has any jet, any ship, or any plane in Iran. The only flying thing they have is missiles, and they are all buried underground. Otherwise, the USA would have bombed them all. That doesn't mean the Iranians cannot stay on the ground and shoot at any US plane they see flying in the air, even with guns and hope and pray that at least one bullet hits the target.
