Alpo 7,719 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I kept waiting for the punchline. They did what should be done. If an American citizen is kidnapped by a foreign government, the military needs to go in and kick ass and get him free. But they don't . If it was Trump's wife, or his son, I can see them doing it. Some congressman or his wife or kid. I could see that. But just some John Q. Public? I noticed the man's name was Walton. Any relationship to Sam, and Walmart? As I said in another thread, I'm cynical. This just seemed too good to be true. Link to post Share on other sites

See https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seal-team-6-rescues-us-citizen-philip-walton-nigeria/ Mr. Walton is described as a farmer. I do not see anything in any of the reports of any connection with the Walmart Waltons; I would expect that such a connection would have been prominently reported if it existed.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6,204 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Good press. Even better, good practice for the time when it IS some "VIP" type or a strategic necessity. Link to post Share on other sites
