t's an upside-down world when Iranian villagers seek to protect U.S. servicemen from Iran's mullah regime, while our purported European allies root for his capture.
That really happened with the recent incident regarding a downed U.S. airman whose case for rescue was made that much more dangerous by a leaker on the U.S. side, who alerted the Iranian goons of his presence on Iranian soil and got them hunting for him.
But the news was not all bad. Something unexpected happened -- in a spontaneous gesture, the Iranian villagers rushed in to protect him from capture by the Revolutionary Guard goons who were looking for him to capture. It was not without risk -- some may die as a result with angry mullah goons now looking for them. But it was the price of freedom, a price they were willing to pay.
Reports confirm the downed F-15 pilot in Iran was sheltered by heroic villagers in Yasuj’s Kakan region before US Special Forces arrived.
The regime has now arrested 20 of those villagers for aiding the American pilot.

Most of the Iranian people are not on the side of the mullahs or the IRGC.
Reports say this article is rampant delusion.
Leftist reports say it’s delusional… The Iranian people have had enough of the Islamic oppression. They didn’t want it in the first place. Their culture and country was stolen from them
May God bless them!
Reports say at least 20 villagers arrested for impeding IRGC efforts to capture a downed American crew member think some people posting on Free Republic are rooting for American failure right along with “Lefty Europeans”.
And now they will all die because the freak’n loud mouths.
Did they catch the leaker???
EXECUTION is the ONLY way to deal with these traitors.
The US Demon-cratic Party is the elephant in the room as far as damage and danger to the US citizens.
True or not, the villagers are now in danger. But at least the story is generating clicks.
Europeans rooting for the capture of the airman?
That’s all the more reason to just pull out of Europe and NATO altogether and let them fester in their radical islamic melting pot.
And now they will all die because the freak’n loud mouths.
Yep, it will suffer the fate of Lidice, during WWII.
I saw the video of those guys and wasn’t sure if they were good guys or bad guys.
Regardless, out media would have turned the WSO into the IRGC, and then did an interview of how brave they were
Can’t recall the dim politician but let the cat out of the bag(as if we didn’t know) that illegals are the most important people to them
Every Republican ad should begin with that clip
Very little difference between how Islamic guard and Nazis treat opposition.
CNN put out a story saying that the IRGC ordered civilians to search for the downed pilot and that the citizens complied. Then they had to retract the story. It was not true, just wishful thinking by CNN.
Even if it didn’t happen, the goons will still round up 20 citizens and publicly hang them as traitirs to show the rest of the citizens who is in charge.
I read a story this morning that IRCG had arrested 20 villagers in connection with helping the downed pilot. If that is true, I feel so bad for them.
I hope the Iranian people take over the streets rather that surround the energy plants
