“ The elite SEAL Team 6 staged a daring raid in the West African country of Nigeria, rescuing Philip Walton, 27, who had been taken hostage, officials told Fox News. ”



The President acts.

Makes me wonder what Joe would have done. Form a committee? Ask the bad guys for permission? Maybe tell the bad guys we’re coming and provide the details?

I'd guess, based on the behavior of his mentor, he'd draw a line, say "Don't step over this", then when they do, apologize.

I have no idea who Phillip Walton is or why he was there but, I'm thankful no American lives were lost in the operation.  There's something special about men that will risk everything for something they believe in.

Yep, we shouldn't be hearing about this, but, tis the time of year,,,,,,

A good friend retired from them. He's nuts. Forced retirement, he got hurt. I think has every imaginable weapon in his office. The man still gets up on plane and leaves a wake when he swims.

 I agree we need not to know there missions. This was a quick one , the guy was taken two weeks ago and then rescued. A lot of good intel and help from other sources. I would say the team had some itchy feet and needed some work.

At least the info wasn't leaked before this took place. The results were probably released because of Tuesday.
