Many points have been made, most in agreement with what you put, but some people might think "fuck it, we've got the money, I don't care about politics, and I want my son back"... you gotta respect those people too...
ISIS are the devils turds in any scenario though !

Nah. Empathize, sure, respect is a stretch.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

In WWII, a British noblewoman, Rachel, Lady MacRoberts, lost two sons in the space of a month in combat to the Luftwaffe. She gave the only admirable reply: she bought a Short Sterling heavy bomber for the RAF and had it christened MacRoberts' Reply.
If IS or any other terrorist organization wanted a ransom for my son's body, I'd donate that amount in his name to the US Air Force ... or perhaps the Mafia ... Hmm.

The ability to admit error is the mark of the mature, and learning, mind. I'm not "obsessed" with you misspeaking, but just pointing out that you should perhaps think before you post, because even to this casual observer, you went off half-cocked.

1. Don't call me Becca. My name is Beccs, which is quite clearly written here. But, if you insist on calling me something difeerent from the name I ask people to call me, you can address me as Dr. Anderson.
2. You make bullshit statements but don't bother answering what I've already stated.
3. You couldn't help us if you were somehow trained. Your lack of clear thought demonstrates that quite clearly.

Prisoner of war? No, you fuckhead, he was a hostage. He was a non-combatant.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
