Great news!! God bless our men and women in uniform!! I watch very little on the major networks. One of my favorite series is SEAL Team. For anyone who is interested, the new season will air Wednesday, November 25th.

The SEALs rescued Walton after killing a number of his captors.

Has a nice ring to it. One Helluva lot better than Carter's 1980 "Incomplete Success" in Iran. (Who the Hell dreams up these phrases?)

my brother and sister in law were the same but they didn’t even bother voting for him...voted for McMullin. Now fully on board. Realized they were so very very wrong and so thankful he is there.

I pray to God there are many many more like you...

Thanks. I’ve checked a couple times to find out when they’d be back on but couldn’t find anything.

No toe tags...just a few cards from the deck with their logo on the back.

"American hostage has been rescued in West Africa by SEAL Team 6 in a daring raid,"

Do they (Seal Team 6) do any other kind (daring)?

😉👍!

"Taking on a tier one SpecOps team in the field is a shortcut to the morgue."

I doubt they have morgues, but your point is well taken. We have the best SpecOps people in the world. Navy Seals, Army Delta, specialized Rangers, Marine Recon, Air Force ground combat controllers. Of course now, with our advanced combat drones, a high value target was turned into much just a couple weeks ago. DEATH FROM ABOVE and ON GROUND!

What a Commander in Chief we now have. I would bet that active military morale has improved by 100% or more!

Or SEAL Team 6 would have been ambushed. Kidnappers probably PO’d about a video tape or something.

Calm down. This kind of info isn’t exactly secret at all. The link has all the info on areas of responsibility about a third of the way down.

One - SE Asia
Two - Europe
Three - SW Asia
Four - South/Central America
And so on.
