red oct 2 Posted September 28, 2002 what is the point of this thread? do you think those russian special police got any thanks for saving a bus load of hostages? or do you think swat get any thanks for ending a stand off? its a thankless job for everybody. if it were the other way around i doubt we or europe would get any thanks.
