We don’t get them from Safe Spaces, that’s for sure.

I don’t know the answer to that question, but they did The Lord’s work this time.

Women could have done it better than these men, but they couldn’t get away from the Protest at the Supreme Court.

I don’t know how you could argue with that! This rescue came out much better than all the internet experts and media pundits predicted and that’s got to be because of these men.

True heroes. If they get to the US I’m sure Potus will invite them to the WH and they will go.

I’ve heard that a Thai special forces guy died when he ran out of oxygen...while delivering oxygen (?).

How does that happen? ...or maybe I’ve misheard.

We will never know, but I would bet that American Navy Seals were there and were the reason the rescue succeeded.

Things were not going well for a while until it was announced that *experts from other nations* were called to help. They, IMO, were American Navy Seals...after that announcement...kids came out rapidly and successfully...

Just my opinion...

That’s a great video, the 43 second shot from the Brit divers that found them. “People are coming for you. Many people. Many, many people.”

Below is a link to a good background article from a mainstream paper in Perth, Australia. They say that the 25-year old assistant coach went in after the boys the day they went missing!? But if so - did he not tell anybody he was going in? Brave if he did so, but foolish for not telling anybody.

Although he is still fairly young, and maybe he thought if he could just get the boys out, the boys wouldn’t get in trouble from their parents? Or maybe he knew of their plans, thought it was foolish but didn’t stop them.

“Family members raised the alarm later that day. Where were they?

Their parents’ concern drove their coach 25-year-old Ekapol Jantawong, a stateless orphan who shared their love of football, to the cave. Near the entrance, he found their bikes, a discovery that meant he had to go deep inside to try to locate them and bring them back.”

Well, this has the makings of a good movie for sure. Just hope it’s not done on the cheap. And, good talent is used.
