I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
It is a huge failure of operation Epic Fury, planners should have anticipated the need to leave a single Iranian F-14 intact so that the downed crew could have exfiltrated themselves.
In the unforgiving calculus of war...where every second in enemy territory is a razor’s edge between life and a mullah’s trophy...America just reminded the world why no adversary has ever broken our resolve.
Two United States Air Force airmen, crew of an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over hostile Iranian skies, were hunted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. One pilot extracted under fire within hours.
The second...a battle-hardened colonel, weapons systems officer...evaded capture for nearly forty-eight hours in treacherous terrain while IRGC thugs closed in with bounties on his head.
Our special operators, backed by layered air cover, night-vision dominance, and the lethal precision only American warfighters possess, went in deep, extracted both men alive, and left no one behind.
Zero American fatalities in the rescue.
One of the most audacious combat search-and-rescue missions in our history, executed with surgical lethality against a regime that dreams of parading our pilots like trophies.
Thank fucking heavens...and thank the United States military, the finest fighting force ever forged on this earth.
National pride isn’t a slogan here; it’s the fire in our blood. We do not abandon our own.
We do not negotiate with terrorists. We strike, we retrieve, we dominate.
That is who we are.
But while our airmen were being hunted and our operators were bleeding for them in the dark heart of Iran, a vocal faction on the American Left...the intellectual and moral rot that has metastasized into the bane of our existence...didn’t just stay silent.
They cheered. They hoped.
They posted, they pontificated, they prayed in their twisted way for those pilots to fall into Iranian hands.
Not because of policy disagreement. Not because of some principled anti-war stance. Because they despise this country at a pathological level.
This is not politics; it is psychological warfare turned inward. A self-loathing so profound, so diabolically fucked up, that it inverts every natural loyalty:
American lives become liabilities, enemy regimes become victims, and our military excellence becomes the real enemy.
It’s the same ideological possession that turns campus radicals into useful idiots for Tehran’s theocrats...cheering the very regime that stones women, hangs gays, and funds the slaughter of innocents worldwide...while sneering at the nation that gave them the freedom to spew their venom.
Iran’s regime, already reeling from precision strikes that have gutted its air defenses, missile sites, and command nodes, was salivating at the propaganda coup of captured Americans.
A Left that roots for that outcome doesn’t merely embarrass itself; it emboldens our enemies, erodes our deterrence, and signals to every adversary from Beijing to Moscow that America’s home front is soft, fractured, and eager for self-flagellation.
This isn’t dissent.
This is active pathology...treason dressed in the language of “nuance.”
It reveals a mind so poisoned by decades of anti-American indoctrination that it cannot process the visceral truth: these pilots were not abstract symbols of imperialism.
They were fathers, sons, brothers...Americans risking everything to project power in a theater where weakness invites apocalypse.
The rescue succeeded in spite of them.
Our military succeeded in spite of them.
And the American people...those with spines intact...see it for what it is:
a stark, lethal demarcation between those who love this republic and those who would watch it burn for the dopamine hit of ideological purity.
To the pilots:
You are the proof that American excellence still conquers.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Why is boarding a shadow-fleet tanker legal?
First: the USCG was involved. Coast Guard officers are federal law enforcement, and their authority travels with them wherever they’re embarked.
Second: under the “law of the sea” — UNCLOS — any stateless vessel can be stopped and boarded by any nation. No permission required.
Now look at the ship’s identity. MarineTraffic showed it flying a Guyana flag, but that’s just self-reported AIS data. Go to the actual government registry database, https://t.co/CAs8zNXuOi, and you’ll see Guyana officially denies registering this ship.
No real flag = stateless vessel.
And stateless vessels have zero legal protections.

What’s the difference between a stateless tanker and a pirate ship?
A pirate attacks a crew and takes the ship.
A stateless shadow-fleet tanker is a ship that’s been sold into the dark economy, where operators hide ownership behind shell companies, scrub papers, forge flags, and erase accountability.
It’s the maritime equivalent of grinding off the VIN number and selling your car to a criminal network.
Pirate ships are also more dangerous because they often have weapons on board and are used as a base for other criminal activities.
Most stateless shadow tankers are crewed by regular seafarers who either really need work or are paid extra to not worry about the legalities.
It’s the difference between a bodyshop in the hood that’s owned by the cartel and is a front for drug and gun storage and a body shop that’s mostly legit but will do to the occasional no questions asked cash jobs to repaint a car that’s got blood stains.
Why don’t more nations do this?
Because Biden’s National Security Council told allies to avoid boarding shadow-fleet tankers out of fear it might escalate tensions with Iran or Russia.
But since Biden left office, some have acted anyway:
•Estonia boarded and detained the Kiwala in April, and tried to seize the Jaguar in May before Russia scrambled fighters and forced them to abort.
•Finland seized the Eagle S after suspecting it of cutting subsea cables.
Bottom line:
Stateless tankers are outside maritime law, and boarding them isn’t escalation.
It’s law enforcement but most nations don’t want to deal with the diplomatic and legal fallout.
Plus there is always a chance the operation will go wrong, boarding teams will take causalities and the tanker could run aground and cause an oil spill.
Most militaries today are very risk adverse.
One more thing: this specific tanker previously transported Iranian oil to China… and nobody has much appetite to stand up to China today.

For those liberals who say that Charlie Kirk was hateful to transgender people, explain yourselves. Most of you have literally never heard him, and are just parroting what main stream media talking heads have told you about him.
THIS is how Charlie debated and interacted with folks struggling with confusion and dysphoria concerning their biology.👇🏼

@MrProWestie I used to be against this but I'm slowly changing my view. I think the map design is a real factor that supports the open weapons concept. If they make the class specific skills shine more, I can get behind the open weapons concept fully.
Americans who are not widely traveled may not understand that there are parts of the world where human life is cheap, and the routinely reckless behavior of all drivers in those places reflects that mentality.
This is not a mentality we should be importing into America.
If you're concerned that taking action internationally means foreigners living in your country will do harm, that should influence your domestic policies, not your foreign policy.
On 14 June 1777, the flag of the United States was adopted through resolution by Congress. June 14 also marks the establishment of the Continental Army in 1775 when the Continental Congress authorized the enlistment of “expert riflemen” in defense of freedom.
