A second United States Air Force combat aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday as rescue teams continued searching for a missing crew member from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle, according to two U.S. officials cited by The New York Times.

The second aircraft, an A-10 Thunderbolt II, went down near the Strait of Hormuz, and its pilot was safely rescued, the officials said.

The crash occurred around the same time that an F-15E was shot down over Iran, where one crew member has already been recovered and search teams continue looking for the second.

    I mean, you didn’t address anything i said. You don’t understand what “real wars” are. Afghanistan was not a war and there was no way to win, hence any comparison you use to it is rediculous.

    What are those drones or those defenses going to do about an naval artillery bombardment? Not high tech missiles, just straight shells hundreds of miles away?

    I’m not a fan of either nation at the moment. You are just romanticizing anti America sentiment, which, you do you boo, I disluke them at the moment too.

    I’m also going to ignore the Afghanistan in worse shape sentiment. If you think women shouldn’t go to school, be heard or be seen, you are not even worth having a discussion with.

    “but America has dug such a hole that not a single other country is coming to their aid.” I mean, we are their with Israel. Not that I like them out agree with what they are doing. But that is a single other country.

    " Hopefully you and or your kids are not within a draft able age, because it’s most likely coming if you see what they’re doing with increasing the age of eligibility."

    This conflict with Iran would not require a draft by any means. Why would you think it would? Iran reportedly has 610k active duty personnel, while America has 1.33-1.34 million active duty personnel. With the arguable American military tech advantage, if this went to a real war, how? How do you think Iran would destroy them?
