We only have trump's and hegseth's WORD that Iran downed the Apache helicopter? [View all]

According to US officials, Iran used a drone to launch the attack on the helicopter. But it is not clear whether the Iranian drone had deliberately attacked, an unnamed US official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner. The semi-official Mehr News Agency reported that Iran had not claimed responsibility for the downed aircraft.

Oh, I know -- its 'unpatriotic' to question our government in times of war (or 'conflict', or 'skirmish' or whatever the hell this is. Its ALWAYS been unpatriotic to ask questions -- whether it was when President Polk insisted that Mexico attacked American soldiers on AMERICAN SOIL, or when a US Navy boat was under attack in Vietnam by a pair of DOLPHINS, or when Colin Powell declared to our allies that the US had proof that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction!

While it has always been difficult to trust our government, this time it is MORE DIFFICULT THAN EVER!!

Note that apparently Iran has not claimed responsibility for downing that helicopter. I would think that they would be bragging about it if they had. I have no doubt that the airspace over Iran is littered with drones -- Iranian, Israeli and American!
