“Possibly they should issue some suicide drugs to the pilots”
How about a change of clothes, a wad of local currency and a pistol? The pistol is dual use, you can save the last round.
ISIS nabbed this poor guy right away and I doubt that he would have even have had the time to kill himself.
What we really need to do is make them so afraid that they don’t even think of doing anything to a captured enemy. Actually, what we need to do is wipe out the town of Raqqa, their headquarters in Syria (since they’re an Obama product, empowered by his war against non-Sunni Muslims in the ME). Give a warning, and blast it to the ground.
