Absolutely wondeful and thought inducing conversation by you and
@mist_consecutive, two of my favorite members on this forum.
I will say, Feb 27th was overall a failure on our side,
but only when it comes to presentation. Pak won the media war, but this is to be expected as americans have some soft spot for the Paks and that this was an american aircraft that was downed.
However, had it not been for officers on the ground, it could’ve ended up much worse. The fact is that this merely another case of poor planning by higher ups and saving grace by the ground officers.
