    You are a well traveled man. Once you get outside of the USA, Canada, Australia and western Europe, life is cheap. "Collateral Damage" is just a consequence of accomplishing the mission. The Moscow theater hostage crisis is a fine example. Russian Special Forces broke the siege and killed the terrorists...and 200 hostages in the process. As far as the Russian military were concerned, the crisis was ended and the mission accomplished. Survivors of the dead hostages sued, and after five years of litigation, got about $1500 each. In the United States, it would be $1.5 million, but life is cheap in Russia.

    Life is cheap even here Mark look at the shootings in the bad parts of Baltimore, Chicago heck even here in NC.

    People raised by brutes, thugs and criminals with no respect for the law or other human beings to them life is cheap. They expect to eith get gunned down by other brutes and by the cops and if they are lucky they go to jail.

    One other thing people in so called civilized country's don't realize; most people live for the day. Africans don't plan ahead or save for a rainy day, the reason is they may die or be killed any day. That is so foreign to most people but not in the ghetto.

    Hostage situations are always tough. Odds are good that someone, good guy/bad guy/otherwise, ain?t gonna make it.

    Very true.

    It gets really dicey when you going into a house where you know there are armed people waiting to kill you or kill hostages.

    Like the guy said S**T Happens, its not a perfect world in fact it is a very imperfect, cold and unsympathetic world.

    The look on the brass hat?s faces in the CP was invariably the same whenever we?d put them on notice of the above prior to making a HR entry. ?Colonel/major/whatever...we?re at the juncture of this situation, we?ve messed around long enough, negotiations have collapsed, he?s gonna do it. If we don?t go in the hostage(s) are very likely gonna get capped. When we do, unfortunately, you?d better be sure theres a extra Medic Unit here ?cuz someone likely isn?t gonna walk out.? (Command) ?WHAAAT? On TV it doesn?t work this way! Oh woe is me!? Lol. (Let the hand wringing begin!!)
    My thoughts as TL, ?...what the he** are you whining about colonel? You?re just gonna sit here all nice ?n safe in the CP drinking coffee and acting important.?
