This is absurd for all the obvious reasons.

Remember during the Gulf War when a lady (Jessica something I think), was captured by the Iraqis?

It was big news, we had to send in a bunch of guys to rescue her and took some casualties in the process too. Getting her back was politically paramount. And that is the big risk.

Women become high value targets to be captured and used against us, because we are men and are culturally taught to risk our lives to save them.

It was during the Operation Iraqi Freedom and, due to lack of manpower, she was on pulling security on a supply convoy that was hit.

They sent in Tier 1 assets, supported by EVERYONE, to get her back. When they got to the location, for some reason, the place was empty but for her.

The word on the street was, the Iraqi’s found out that the entire weight of the US military was about drop on their heads. Deciding to live another day, allowed them to make the prudent decision when America pulled up.
