It is a bonafide spectacular special ops rescue! God bless the hostages and the Columbian military ... trained by the finest in the world: The US Armed Forces .. likely our Special Ops, Deltas, etc.

There's no doubt in my mind, while all the public kudos are going out to Uribe and the Columbian troops .. and rightfully so, for their fight for freedom, perseverence and skill .. the US Special Ops and CIA communities, etc. were integral to this stunning feat .. totally .. in training, intelligence and support.

Bet it will be a movie .. it's just too wonderfully clever and awesome.

I love the US military. God bless and protect them.

Special Forces Creed

I am an American Special Forces Soldier. A Professional!

I will do all that my nation I requires of me.

I am a volunteer, knowing well the hazards of my profession.

I serve with the memory of those who have gone before me: Roger's Rangers, Francis Marion, Mosby's Rangers, the First Special Service Forces and Ranger Battalions of World War II, The Airborne Ranger Companies of Korea..

I pledge to uphold the honor and integrity of all I am - in all I do.

I am a professional soldier.

I will teach and fight wherever my nation requires.

I will strive always, to excel in every art and artifice of war.

I know that I will be called upon to perform tasks in isolation, far from familiar faces and voices, with the help and guidance of my God.

I will keep my mind and body clean, alert and strong, for this is my debt to those who depend on me.

I will not fail those with whom I serve.

I will not bring shame upon myself or the forces.

I will maintain myself, my arms, and my equipment in an immaculate state as befits a Special Forces soldier.

I will never surrender though I be the last.

If I am taken, I pray that I may have the strength to spit upon my enemy.

My goal is to succeed in any mission – and live to succeed again.

I am a member of my nation's chosen soldiery. God grant that I may not be found wanting, that I will not fail this sacred trust.
