Quote from: K-Dog on Apr 04, 2026, 11:15 AMThat is a hard realization for the people of Iran, who put out a reward that the American pilot be captured ALIVE. Killing is an insult to their dignity.
Dignity issue aside, dead the pilot has no value in the political game. Alive he has much more utility as a bargaining chip and for media attention. Videos of said pilot would stir up the emotions of the Amerikan audience. He might even be induced to make statements of remorse questioning why he was sent on the mission. The grunts aren't all in favor of the folks running this show. They have renamed the Hegseth's DoW the Department of War Crimes. 😁 Who knows, the Pilot might even be a Democrat! lol.
