The missing US pilot HAS to be rescued to stop a nightmare scenario

Suddenly the whole US military apparatus is focusing on one thing, the rescue of the missing crew member of the downed F-15E Strike Eagle over Iran. The legendary Combat Search and Rescue Teams who are trained for this eventuality, will find him if anyone can. But they have to do it before some wandering Iranian comes across the pilot and contacts the security authorities. The worst possible sceanrio is for the crew member to be detained, ill-treated and put on state television so that the Tehran regime can gloat. His survival chances would be minimal. We have had this terrible scenario before. Saddah Mussein held people, including children, hostage and flaunted their suffering on television. And of course, Gary Powers, the U2 spy pilot shot down in 1960 by the Soviet Union on a secret CIA surveillance mission, was paraded before the cameras when he was picked up and brutally treated. Why the missing American crew member has not been found is a mystery. Fighter aircraft crews always have personal radio beacons to pinpoint their position if shot down, and undergo intense training for what action to take if parachuting unharmed into hostile territory. The missing American will be hiding somewhere and he may be worried that his personal radio beacon could be spotted by the enemy and might have switched it off. If so, that will make the task of his rescuers much more difficult. But he HAS to be found. Iran would be granted huge leverage over Donald Trump if the airman is captured. With the Strait of Hormuz card already in their pocket, a captured airman would raise hopes among the regime that Trump can be defeated. PLEASE BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY NEW SPY THRILLER.
