He's the enemy, lest you forget, so screw him. I'm just a little old fashioned that way and will never get cozy with the former USSR, considering their aggression all over the globe. They were an obstacle to almost everything we were trying to do in the Region, often dropping nerve gas on civilians. They continue to buzz our ships and planes all over the globe. They also ran a successful cyber campaign to further divide us as a Nation. This has led to a distrust in our politicians, media, and even each other. We are spending money and losing lives in training to respond in the event they ever go All In with their goal of reuniting the former USSR. Heroic maybe, but friend, never.

SSG Diane R. - Since I don't know what he has done from his cockpit in the past I can't speak to his military virtue. Would you have a lesser opinion if you knew he had violated the law of war on countless occasions? Would you still find him virtuous? He was not simply a potential adversary, but rather an enemy from a State that has no regard for human rights or its citizens. A State that relies on people in countries like the USA thinking they "aren't all that bad" while they extend their influence all over the Globe. That's part of the reason why we are deploying forces in new locations all over Europe in an attempt to minimize and monitor their expansionist aims. Praising him for his actions is like praising a member of a street gang because they fought it out with the LEO's before their death. He was a bad guy long before he became a hero in your eyes, and not worthy of any praise for his last act of defiance out of the will to survive.

CWO3 (Join to see) - Chief, in your first sentence, you say, "I can't speak to his military virtue." But your last says, "He was a bad guy... not worthy of any praise." Which is it? Do you know what he's done? Or not?
Based on the information we have, he fought valiantly and with courage, regardless of whether he was on our side or not. Have we completely lost the ability to recognize those warrior traits even when they may be opposed to us?
What about Baron Von Richthofen who undoubtedly WAS on the opposite side and killed many of our people? Can't we still recognize his skill, valor and courage? We can respect and commend the warriors in our enemies without compromising our Patriotic integrity.

Praise the people have been bombing and support the bombing of hospitals is repulsive.
Sure he put up a fight he was a dead man either way. He died a soilders death.

Obviously oblivious to what they have been doing to the hospitals. They were not accidents they were all intentionally bombed no excuses.
So you telling me support this.
Good day.
