Did you hear this was the first successful rescue of a POW since WW2..or was it ever? I think about those POWs and dare not imagine their treatment.

"Did you hear this was the first successful rescue of a POW since WW2..or was it ever?"

I did not hear that, and I don't believe that. There were several
events such as this in VietNam. Once they get them to a real Prison it will be much harder, because the enemy will be expecting it. But they were expecting our invasion, and a lot of good it did them.
