That logistical flex we talked about on Sunday may have been a distraction, designed to draw ground forces away from the main mission of collecting our lost aviator.
We had boots on the ground, no doubt, trying to bring our guys out of harms way.
One story I'm hearing is that at the site of that distraction, US forces left two mementoes for the Iranians to find. One, a case of MREs, and second, a pair of American flag boxer shorts.
Is that true? Hell, I don't know, but it makes a great story.
That it does! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the runway was built as part of the airman rescue operation. A FARP. 2 C-130s and maybe an A-10 had to be destroyed, and a small helicopter.
ReplyDeleteThis was in the Dedasht area,
I don’t know if this is near the nuclear facility.

The Guardian has an earlier article that says this is in the Isfahan area and that a plan to build an airstrip near the nuke place has been floated.
Were all the MREs pork based?
