Speaker 1: This is Carol Plattleibel for town Hall dot com. It's
Speaker 1: a story that fills you with a very American kind
Speaker 1: of pride. In a risky and costly operation, the US
Speaker 1: rescued the missing pilot who had been shot down over Iran.
Speaker 1: The operation involved hundreds of intelligence and military personnel, Navy
Speaker 1: Seal Team six, Army Delta Force CA operatives who carried
Speaker 1: out a deception campaign, even the destruction of two damaged aircraft,
Speaker 1: all to find one man. Some questioned why America would
Speaker 1: go to such extraordinary lengths just to recover a single pilot.
Speaker 1: Of course, we wanted to deny irona propaganda victory and
Speaker 1: access to any intelligence the pilot possessed. But there's more
Speaker 1: to it than that. We come from a Judaeo Christian worldview.
Speaker 1: We believe every life is precious. We honor our fighting
Speaker 1: men and women, and we don't leave any of them behind.
Speaker 1: I'm Carol Platt Libel
