“Never light a match or sharpen a knife in case you have to be rescued by an ambulance crew or fireman, and never ever drive a car. Only this way can you be responsible by never risking a rescuers life.”
This is what these people do for a living. Our soldiers did not go over there with a mission of saving missionaries who put themselves in harm’s way with no security.
Of course, being in Afghanistan doesn't really compare to either of these activities. I think it's more like juggling chain saws and playing with matches in an ammo dump.
The way they preform their mission is to stamp out those who kidnap, torture and subject the local populace, including missionarys. We would not let Iraqi’s die but would fight to rescue them, why if it is missionarys suddenly people cry let them die, don’t waste the time.
I suspect more than a hint of anti christian bias in play here, with some pretty thin justification in place.
