Military aviators train for this, being alone behind enemy lines (look up SERE school if you’re curious, one of the craziest training courses outside of special forces) and there is a special force just for aviator recovery behind enemy lines, US AirForce Pararescue. Hopefully they’ll get the aviators back quickly, the last thing our country needs is American hostages making this ridiculous war harder to stop.

Do they train for a “no quarter“ conflict where injured or surrendered combatants are killed?

Hegseth is not in charge of the Iranian military.

But he did publicly declare his intention to commit war crimes.
