Hegseth, befitting his background as a Fox News himbo hype man, gave a press conference in which he called the bombing “the most complex and successful military operation in history.” Step aside, evacuation of Dunkirk: Compared to dropping bombs on three targets in a country with no air defenses to speak of, you are garbage. But yeah, saying these kinds of ludicrous things is now the most important job requirement for being in the Cabinet.

Forgetting D-Day?

But let's assume Hegseth has zero knowledge of any history prior to the last month. Still, the Israeli air force operation to guarantee air superiority over Iran in ten days, and make the B2 bombing mission a cakewalk, was much more complex and impressive. Iran is out of normal range for every Israeli F16 and F35. They had to conduct hundreds of midair refueling operations with a few ancient Boeing 707s, every day for ten days, and every one of those planes returned home safely.
