Went off and launched a war without planning, without being ready for even some of the most basic things. This is clearly amateur hour at the Pentagon and in the White House, and again the price is being paid by all of us.
Trump said yesterday that the war could end very soon, which would be encouraging, had he not also told us he'd end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He's going to make a huge mess and walk away like it's the new toilet in the Lincoln bathroom.
I remember my commander, one day before my first strike, talking to us about how they expect us to lose half of the airplanes. He was our boss. He was the commander of the squadron. He was only 39 years old at the time. I remember when he turned 40. He was such a great guy, a great leader, and he was under so much pressure. And he wasn't even the guy that made the decision to send us there. But you could just feel, just in his core, that he understood, you know, how significant of an issue this was that some of us might die.
Does it make any sense to you that Iran was planning preemptive strikes against us and our civilians, knowing full well of the massive military assets we had moved into the region, the aircraft carriers and so on? Obviously, it doesn't, Kelly concluded, while saying she would never repeat such a claim like Jennings did because she would not allow them to use me like a fool.
