      @@Ecrocken I don't think he skipped it, I think it's a different video unfortunately. There's this one that's a little chopped up and the other version that can only be a minute or two longer that talks about the kid in the car helping kidnap her and about her coworker. I think when people react to this, this version may be the first one to pop up or something and they don't notice that there's one a few more mins longer. 🤷🏻‍♀

    Yes. Also, SEAL team 6 isn’t what they are called. They might have used to have been called that but they’ve been called DEVGRU(Naval Special Warfare Development Group) for a while now. They aren’t part of the regular SEAL teams. DEVGRU is a tier 1 specops unit. SEALs are tier 2. An other tier 1 group would be 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta(Delta Force),

    Can I tell you a sort of irrelevant story? You sound Scottish to me; in WWII, my father was a soldier in the Battle of the Bulge and he got shelled. After emergency treatment, he was airlifted to a hospital in Scotland to recuperate fully. The hospital connected recuperating American soldiers with Scottish civilians, who would invite the soldiers to dinner, take them to religious services, etc., to make them feel less lonely. The family he was connected to had a beautiful daughter named June, and they fell in love. My father proposed to her, and she said yes. My father recuperated completely and was sent back to the front. When Dad got back to the US, my father sent for June. She wrote back and said she was sorry, but she'd changed her mind. She'd decided she couldn't leave Scotland and her family. They never saw each other again. BUT ... They carried on a correspondence for the rest of their lives. We found a box of letters from her when we were clearing things out after my father died. Just conversational letters, how and what they were doing. My father eventually fell in love with/married my mother. I can't remember whether June got married. I assume she did. After my father retired, he and my mother took a trip to Scotland and looked up her two kid brothers, whom he'd also gotten to know very well. (June, unfortunately, had passed away.) They remembered him fondly. He used to bring them chocolate bars bcs they were part of soldiers' rations but very hard to get for civilians. They met at a pub and apparently talked and laughed for hours. My father also got a souvenir photograph from his time there, a photograph of himself in full Scottish regalia, a kilt and a sporran and so on. I always found that amusing bcs I don't think he had a drop of Scottish blood. He had photos of June. She was very pretty, petite and with light hair. It's always been very interesting to me to think that I could have been half Scottish (I mean, I know it wouldn't have been me, but ...). I and most Americans have very strong positive feelings towards the British Isles.

    I remember a commercial for joining the Navy that ran on tv for a while. It showed a beach at night with the waves crashing on the shore. Then the water rushes back out to the ocean. Then a wave crashes and when the water rushes back you see footprints in the sand. Then another wave crashes and erases the footprints. SEAL stands for SEa, Air, Land warfare. Im a Navy brat, pops was active duty when I was born. I was actually born on a Marine Corp Air Base. The Navy and the Marines are related. There can be Marines that are Navy Seals.

    Just as there are several different Army special forces such as the Rangers, Green Berets, and Task Force 160. Delta Force is the Army's Tier 1 force. The Navy SEALs also have two types: what are called the Blue Water SEALs which can be thought of as the equivalent to the Army Rangers, and there is SEAL Team 6 which is the Navy's Tier 1 force equivalent to Delta Force.
    Both Tier 1 forces can do the same missions such as hostage rescue and direct action, but in general SEAL Team 6 executes the direct action mission more than Delta Force. Delta Force, and I'm being very general here, is usually used in large Tier 1 missions.
    You will rarely ever hear about the missions they conduct but there are exceptions. Killing Osama Bin Laden was one mission that was made public. And Delta Force's participation in the invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause) was made public.
    I know a little more than the average person about what they do because after I retired from the Marine Corps, I worked as an independent consultant for military high technology programs and several of those programs were in support of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and I was at times technical support for the new technologies being tested on their training exercises.

    Here in America, typically an American "Hero's" story w/ this much drama gets made into a movie, especially when the surviving victim writes a book about it. But This story of Heroism will never make for a "Box Office" movie for profit because of one factor . . . many of those Somalian Bandits were well under the age of American adulthood.
    That said, it doesn't matter what age you are for the laws of nature that govern such behavior, "Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword". There's another YT documentary floating around out there that claims this rescue cost $100,000,000 dollars to pull off.

We believe everyone is entitled to the same opportunities, Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. If you work hard, have a dream and strive, then it can become a reality.. We are also very dedicated to our other American brothers and sister. Our Loyalty to each other is way beyond bone deep. We bicker among ourselves, but if an outsider tries to bully one of us, You can bet the rest of us will go to guns for them until it's done. Our anthem and our flag are so, so, so important and sacred to us. God Bless.
