I hope that the murderous cowards were trembling in fear for those two weeks, worrying about whether the SAS would get them, would SEALS get ‘em, would it be GROM (polish special forces), or maybe Marines. Could it be Rangers sneaking up on them????I hope they didn’t sleep at all and that they froze in terror when the rescuers showed up because they’ve heard what the Aussies and Brits and Americans and Polish and other Allied forces do to people like THAT.
It’s important that they were cut down, as usual, so that the next piece of garbage who helps kidnap an innocent aid worker understands what all the other dead captors understand - heroes will be showing up soon. I’m not making light of the loss of this woman’s death - I am just so angry I am taking a moment to hope that her killers worried about how it would feel when justice caught up to them. Hope the fear inside wondering just how they would die consumed their last days. (i.e. ‘sleep tight you monsters - commandos are comin’ to meet ya’)
Good deeds do not go unpunished.
If I was King of the World, I’d make every man over 50 with a net worth of 5$million and above fight all the wars...
we’d see how soon conflicts would be resolved (in a sense).
Very sad breaking news on this one. The PM has announced that it may be she was actually killed by a rescuers grenade. This will of course trigger a barrage of arm-chair generals second guessing the decision for US Special Forces to go in - it is deeply, deeply sad - but it doesn’t change the following facts:
- At the point at which they thought she may be moved to AQ in Pakistan the tactical decision to go in became a no-brainer.
- The young men involved in the rescue operation were operating at real risk to their own lives - sometimes things go wrong. They remain heroic.
- The responsibility for her death remains with the kidnappers.
As with any operation that goes wrong lessons must be learned - lots of questions will be raised and SOP may be adjusted if necessary. But none of that changes that a choice had to be made, brave men made it - and although it didn’t pan out the way we would have prayed - it was still the right call.
