In contrast, it's been reported that American pilots flying missions against ISIS have been trying to respond to desperate calls for air support on the ground, but their requests are either denied or are just sat on in limbo as pending an authorization that never comes .
At some point 80-90 percent of the flights ended up returning to land with the same ordnance load it took off with.
Other NATO pilots there have complained that they do only 1 mission a day (and that’s all those countries combined). Canadian pilots have grumbled about just sitting around on most days.
It’s pretty damn obvious Obama - who is ultimately in charge of all those forces - doesn’t really want to fight the terrorists.
Russia does.
