Such pure evil in the world. On this Christmas morning, may the Lord’s infinite compassion somehow reach them.
I am certain that the U.S. Marines would rescue them in a heartbeat. I’m thinking of “Lone Survivor,” when they let the goat herder boy go, and one of them says something like, “You just won the lottery.” They did that even though they knew it endangered their own lives, and most of them ultimately paid the price.
