U.S. Air Force refueler crashes in Iraq while supporting Iran war

[Conservative from Georgia]

Let us pray that the crew of this plane supporting Trump‘s war in Iran have survived.
Let’s remember that our airmen are not at fault for the decisions of our leaders. They signed up to defend America and they are heroes.

Excerpt:

“A U.S. Air Force refueler crashed in Iraq on Thursday following an apparent accident involving the KC-135 tanker and another aircraft, military officials said in a news release.

“U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said its brief statement that the second aircraft landed safely and that “rescue efforts are ongoing.” The statement does not disclose whether there are confirmed fatalities, saying, “We ask for continued patience to gather additional details and provide clarity for the families of service members.”

“TDS” is a copycat term borrowed from “Bush derangement syndrome”, “Clinton derangement syndrome”, and Obama derangement syndrome. Trump supporters pretend it’s an original term.

hmmm...you pray? I was wondering how many sentences it would be before the faux compassion for our heroes turned into the reason and motivation for that compassion...turns out it was 8 words this time.

every word of that is true, its the intent and person behind it that is phony as all get up.

So far there have been no explantion or details whether it was shot down or malfunctioned.
From the American Military news source, Stars and Stripes:

KC-135 refueling aircraft goes down in Iraq and rescue is underway, CENTCOM says

The U.S. Central Command announced that rescue efforts are ongoing for a KC-135 refueling aircraft lost during Operation Epic Fury.

Shit happens in war. It's not a video game.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

I had some training on the KC-135.
You can bail out if it is flying fairly level.
But if it is rolling or diving it is very difficult to bail out of.
One of the big problems is hitting the wing or elevators.

Celebrating this is beyond pathetic.

Doesn't even matter if it's original or not, it's just a pathetic way of trying to avoid talking about things.

It is talking about things. One thing in particular - the bizarre derangement that Trump opponents share.

Of course people were upset about Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger, and Obama. It was called _______ derangement syndrome for each of them.

But it was nothing like the obsession over Donald Trump. His losing the 2020 election has only made it last for twelve years instead of eight. That means people who first voted against Trump as 18 year olds will be thirty by the time he leaves the White House.

Which would be fine, if some of them were not so deranged about him.

A small price to pay for Saudi Arabia.

How many crew bailed out ?

No, apparently you didn't. The bail-out hatch is on the bottom of the aircraft, port-side behind the cockpit. It's the access hatch where you climb into the aircraft from the ground.
