Description
In a successful raid this week, U.S. special forces including Delta Force rescued 70 hostages from ISIS. The 70 of which were said to be executed any time given recent intel. One Delta Force soldier (who had earned 11 bronze stars in his various tours) was killed in the firefight. The hostages were successfully recovered and extracted to safety.
Some of the hostages were members of the Iraqi security forces. Other units such as Iraqi's and Kurdish forces participated in the attack alongside U.S. special forces.
Damn good work.
On another note though I just wish the administration would call it what it is, a combat mission. A U.S. soldier was killed in the firefight during this raid, so they should honor his memory by calling it what it is. Politics be damned.
Even with our terrible commander-in-chief, and a bizarre foreign policy, and rediclious and dangerous military budget cuts, it's good to see that our boys are still able to do good in spite of the people over them. God bless them.
