    I've seen this several times before, but I still get choked up. It's a very powerful and emotional story.

    There is also a video about this story. Its told from the military point of view. Tells details about the mission. Its also worth the watch.

    The absolute terror they had to live under for 93 days is unfathomable to me. Thanks for a great reaction guys. Blessings to all who were involved in this heroic rescue. ✌🤗🙏

    I was struck by her apology to her father...after all she went through Jessica recognized the pain and suffering her dad and family
    had been through as well.
    a very brave woman of character for sure...

    It happened again in 2020:
    "On October 31st, 2020, U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) executed a successful rescue operation in Northern Nigeria to retrieve an American citizen, Philip Walton, who had been taken, hostage."

    She asked " how they got there " ? If I'm not mistaken it was a high altitude parachute jump miles away from the L.Z.

    Excellent reaction guys. What an amazing example of resilience of the human spirit and the capabilities of our military. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Rhonda Cornum a few days before her helicopter was shot down in Desert Storm and captured. Her story reflects many of the same conditions and psychological challenges Jessica so clearly described. Thanks again guys. Awesome video.- Hawk

    Another video on this rescue points out that the mission cost well in excess of 100 million dollars, more than double the exorbitant ransom the pirates were demanding. This policy came straight from Thomas Jefferson, "Millions in defense before a cent in tribute!" one of his campaign slogans referring to the Barbary Pirates. It's a matter of national pride: "Don't Tread On Me," as the Gadsden Flag proclaims.

      That video was a lie. 100 million dollars is the cost of the entire yearly budget for the entire program and department which includes 8 teams, support personnel, equipment, training etc. Well over 200 plus personnel. Those teams conducted numerous missions every year.

      @@sunohsun4234sure bud and you’re the department of defense director right? A quick google search says: “The rescue of Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted cost around $100 million. The rescue involved a raid by US special operations forces, including the Navy SEALs. “ I’m sure I trust a random basement dweller than actual sources.

      The military personnel are all getting paid regardless, so there is only the incremental cost of fuel, maintenance, and ammo. No where near 100 million.

    This was on my running list of future coffee requests. 😊
    I'm glad you guys chose the longer video. There's another one that edits out some bits of the story.
    The entire situation is sickening including the child soldier involved.
    How anyone can do any of this to another human being is beyond comprehension.
    Children being tortured and forced to become foot soldiers is a horrific crime in itself.
    This woman is a true badass both for simply surviving and embracing life in the aftermath.

    @larrybutler8948 2 дні тому

    This is still a very watered down story. If you heard the real story, it is even more horrifying than you can imagine. First off, her Co-Worker knew she was going to be kidnapped. He forced her to go to this section to be kidnapped. Second her whole security people were paid 100,000.00 dollars so she could be taken. 3rd, the US military knew where she was at all times and had even listened in to them. 4th, the Kidnappers had backing from the US financially. Listen to the real story from her own lips. It is an hour long but well worth a listen to, to hear the Rest of the story.

    It's a wonderful thing when people work in the aid of others but in the world we live in at the moment, it's dangerous to do that AND it puts your rescuers at risk. People really need to consider this before they decide where they go to do aid work, Americans are always targets.
