When bullets started flying during the spectacular capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, one American Chinook pilot took three rounds and kept flying. That's the difference between Trump's military and the DEI disaster we endured under Biden - real warriors who finish the mission no matter what.
Operation Absolute Resolve stunned the world when U.S. forces swooped into Caracas in the early morning hours of January 3rd and successfully extracted the socialist tyrant who has terrorized Venezuela for years. While initial reports suggested no Americans were injured, the truth reveals an even more heroic story.
The pilot, whose identity remains classified for security reasons, was reportedly instrumental in planning the entire Venezuelan operation before courageously manning his aircraft during the actual mission. When enemy fire erupted, he took three bullets but refused to abort - completing the extraction that brought Maduro to American justice.
Social media erupted with reactions as news of the pilot's heroism spread. Twitter user @LaBeets50 noted the discrepancy in initial reports: "I guess the no one was injured was NOT true. Chinook pilot who helped plan Venezuelan operation wounded during Caracas mission to capture Maduro."
@Infiniteridler highlighted the administration's response: "Chinook pilot who helped plan Venezuelan operation wounded during Caracas mission to capture Maduro, sources say administration says this act of attacking our soldiers will allow us to attack and kill, unlimited numbers of Venezuelans."
This is what happens when you have a Commander-in-Chief who actually supports our military instead of forcing them through transgender seminars and climate change lectures. Trump's warriors know their mission comes first, their brothers-in-arms come second, and their own safety comes last.
Maduro now sits in a New York jail cell awaiting justice for his crimes against humanity, drug trafficking, and oppression of the Venezuelan people - all because one American pilot took three bullets and kept flying.
How many more dictators around the world are suddenly reconsidering their life choices? When America leads with strength instead of weakness, tyrants fall and heroes rise.
