That is all exactly correct except for this: “This is akin to holding onto a metal pole in a lightning storm.”
It’s more akin to telling your CHILD to hold onto a metal pole in a lightning storm, while rolling tape for a reality TV audition you hope to sell.
Not only should Abby's family be forced to pay for the rescue, that irresponsible American man from Colorado who just got caught in Afghanistan trying to find and kill Osama Bin Laden (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2535300/posts) should be forced to pay for his own rescue too. .
Not only is he way too old to take on such a strenuous challenge, he wasn't properly funded, he had NO insurance, he went equipped with only a pistol and a dagger, and he knowingly went into extremely dangerous territory, IN A WAR ZONE.
How stupid and irresponsible. The family shouldn’t have allowed him to go.
He was doing it for the fame, and either his family should be forced to promise to pay for his rescue, or we should abandon him where he’s at.
Yup. On a side note - I am really enjoying your Enemies series. Read the first two, and am in the middle of the third.
They are compelling reads. I've not read this much this fast in years.
