On a sunny Monday morning, the president spoke to the children about eggs and war.
“They said normally, when you’re in very hostile territory — and I don’t think it gets much more hostile than Iran. They’re capable fighters,” said President Donald Trump, describing the mission to rescue the crew of a F-15E fighter shot down in Iran to an audience of hundreds of children dressed in pastel dresses, bow ties and bunny ears. “Where a pilot’s shot down, in most instances, you’re really not able to go in, because you’ll go in with 200 people and lots of jet fighters and helicopters, and you really don’t have a chance. They get shot down. You lose 200 in order to pick up one, it’s a horrible thing.”
