Why in God's name aren't our people, esp CEO and the like, and service men for sure not wearing GPS devices. These are small enough that you can hide them in your shoes or probably have them surgically implanted.

What is the cost of a GPS device? Multiply that by 125,000 - 150,000 troops plus thousands, tens of thousands maybe, of contractors...
How many Americans have been taken hostage? In the single digits. So whoever makes these decisons have decided that the cost is not worth the few lives. Other dangers such as IEDs are taking a much higher toll and probably more armor is the top priority for those deciding.
Just speculating, but dollars are usually the reason behind everything that happens or doesn't happen.
