The United States government on Wednesday called for the immediate release of two Fox journalists being held by a militant group in Gaza, but added that the US would not make any concessions in return.
"We hope the kidnappers will release Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig at the earliest opportunity. It is the position of the US Government that we do not make concessions to terrorists," Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm, spokeswoman for the US Consulate in Jerusalem, said. (Reuters)

He's a bad a$$ former SEAL who looks like he can eat nails and pi$$ napalm.
