Agreed, hence my original statement... |
Bindi your original statement mentioned nothing of this.

It is one of the most harrowing things I have ever seen... we deleted it straight away but it is etched into my memory.
And that's why anyone who is threatened with this to me needs to be rescued. I don't care how the guy got there, GET HIM OUT OF THERE NOW.

I've watched that vid like 10 times and still have it along with an assortment of other similar videos. To be honest I lost no sleep over them. These contractors knew the dangers of going into a warzone, but were after the $$$.
Now to pull military resources away from other critical operations to rescue a guy who went in for a quick $$$ and got caught, I'd make him pay the costs of his own rescue. He knew the danger.
What happens when military personnel are killed trying to rescue them?
