Loading ...WE GOT HIM
Our national prayers were answered. Early this Easter morning —at 4:08 AM, to be precise— the Commander-in-Chief posted three words on Truth Social that instantly became the most-shared message of the weekend: ”WE GOT HIM!

US Forces have rescued missing crew member of F-15E jet downed by Iran in daring mission, intense fighting
WOW X 5 ! BACK FROM THE BRINK ON EASTER SUNDAY
U.S. special forces extracted an unnamed Air Force Colonel who was the second crew member of the F-15E Strike Eagle downed on Friday over Iran’s mountainous southwestern border. While the rest of America was sleeping, U.S. Special Forces, guided by CIA intelligence, conducted what a senior military official called “one of the most dangerous and complex missions in the history of U.S. special forces operations.”
“Finding the downed airman had been the U.S. military’s top priority since Friday,” the New York Times reported. No wonder Trump stayed in the White House instead of returning to Mar-a-Lago for the Easter weekend. He was supervising the op.
The Colonel was injured in the crash. He spent approximately 48 hours hiding in a mountain crevice on a high ridge with nothing but a handgun and his training, while Iranian special forces relentlessly hunted him through the terrain. U.S. fighter jets harassed the Iranian convoys. The CIA, meanwhile, ran a simultaneous deception campaign— spreading fake rumors inside Iran that U.S. forces had already located our pilot and were moving him for exfiltration, fooling Iranian search parties to look in the wrong place. Local Iranians reportedly turned out in large numbers to help distract and obstruct IRGC forces who were desperately searching for our pilot in a race against the clock.
Then came the real rescue. Details are sparse.

When it was over, every American soldier was out of Iranian airspace. The Colonel was on his way to Kuwait. Two transport planes that “got stuck” in a remote Iranian base were blown up on the runway (so Iran couldn’t have them) while troops and the rescued pilot waited for three new replacement planes to finish the extraction. Trump closed his announcement the only way he could: “GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!”
Say what you want about the war —and corporate media can’t shut up about it— but this is the first time in military memory that two American pilots were rescued separately from deep inside enemy territory, with zero American lives lost, in the same week. On Easter Sunday.
The Colonel will probably be spending the rest of his life answering “so what did you do for Easter?” at parties. Paramount has already signed Tom Clancy to script the movie. Chris Pratt will play Pete Hegseth. Working title: The Sum of all Iranian Fears. Alternate: Behind Enemy Lines 2: This Time It’s Persia-nal. (Okay, I made up the part about the movie, but I really hope it’s true. I volunteer to write the script, if they need someone.)
? Here is President Trump’s briefing to the American people:
Yesterday, President Trump extended by 48 hours a midnight deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait or “all Hell will reign down on them.” The official explanation was that “very good and productive conversations” with the Iranians were underway. I suspect instead the extension was because the pilot rescue operation was underway. It was a leverage play inside a leverage play. But now he’s home safe.
Tick, tock. Time’s almost up.
