Previously, it would have been understandable for the fleet to launch missiles, since both the fighter jets and missiles were equipped with friend-or-foe identification systems, making it unlikely for those missiles to accidentally hit the aircraft.
But the situation was different now. Dozens of pilots from the crashed planes were floating through the air beneath parachutes, scattered across nearly the entire sky.
Those parachutes had no friend-or-foe identification systems. With the fleet launching so many missiles at once, friendly fire was practically inevitable!
This reminded people of what the rescued soldiers had said before.
They were nothing more than pawns abandoned by those at the top!
The military and the White House had never cared about the lives of these soldiers and military pilots. In order to capture Iron Man, they would not hesitate to sacrifice however many soldiers and civilians it took!
At that moment, people saw through the military's true face, and fury rose within them!
The appearance of the second Iron Man suit had already proven that everything President Chris had said before was a lie. He had claimed that the military laboratory had produced one prototype and could not possibly make a second one in such a short time. Yet Iron Man, whom they claimed had stolen the only Iron Man suit, immediately deployed a second suit!
So every accusation Chris had made against Iron Man—including stealing military research results and threatening national security—was complete nonsense!
Iron Man had built the Iron Man suit himself. Every lie and action by the military and the White House had been intended to seize his Iron Man suit and claim it as their own!
To achieve that goal, they clearly would stop at nothing, even sacrificing countless innocent soldiers to get what they wanted!
But anger obviously could not
