What is the deal with us not having found our second aviator???

 You read the title so you know the question.

I'm a layman so I don't know but I thought those bubbas had transponders or whatever you call the apple device that lets you track your shit and sat phones so they could be found if shot down and at least talk to HQ.

Additionally we have so many assets in the area that I just can't wrap my brain around the idea that we don't where he/she is.

Could a faction have captured him?  Even if that is the sad possibility we have damn near a Ranger Battalion in the region along with Delta or Seal Team 6 and around 5K Marines that can perform perimeter security if captured.

If they died during ejection then we should have the body.

I just don't get this.

If this joker is deep in Iran having to escape and evade then God bless him.  That's got to be a rough ride.

Either way I'm kinda shocked we haven't yanked him back yet.
