Anatomy Of A Hostage Rescue
Via the Navy Times. Fascinating article, read the whole thing. Here's a tease:
The special operators see the Oct. 15 rescue differently. To them, the fact that U.S. forces were able to rescue an American hostage from a location where the kidnappers felt secure “sends a very clear message to any extremist groups that [kidnapping Americans] will be handled with vigilance and unrelenting persecution,” said the special operations officer.The kidnappers, he said, “paid a pretty heavy price for trying to pull in some money.”
Thanks to OpFor.
