What ever happened to the downed pilot who was rescued in Iran?

I am still waiting for the rescued pilot to make an appearance to thank the pedo in chief for using (and destroying) hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military planes and equipment to rescue him.

As I understand it, he was rescued in the mountains near where Iran supposedly hides their uranium.

I am sure that the administration would love to honor this pilots heroism and let the American people
do the same.

Do we have a name? Do we have a photo? Do we have any updates?

What do you think happened?

He was a WZO, the back seater weapons officer in an F-15E Srike Eagle. As to what happened to him, I believe he is still in a hospital in Germany with an assortment of injuries mostly caused by being shot out of the jet like a rifle bullet by pyrotechnics. Perhaps he doesn't want the publicity?

Can't believe Trump passed on a photo op with the pilot, getting a medal in the gold oval office

Didn't ever happen

If he were paraded in front of cameras, that would also be horrible.

Do X, it's bad; don't do X, it's bad. Catch-22, in other words.

If there's no escape from being condemned, either for any action or any inaction, it's a pointless thing to get even slightly annoyed about.
