How was that GSG-9 Special? Was it good? Those GSG-9 guys are supposed to be the read deal. I've always thought it would be cool to have one on the Joe Team. My understanding is that their sort of a SWAT/Anti-Terrorist Unit? Like Delta/SAS? How did the Military Channel portray them?
Every SM i've ever read was awesome.
The GSG-9 show was good. It was about their first real public mission. They storm a hijacked Luftansa plane that ended up in Somalia. No losses. They formed the unit and within 5 years had it fully trained. It was alright. I don't deny they GSG-9 are the real deal. They Israeli hostage rescue in Entebbe Uganda was way cooler. We don't see much of that anymore. Delta Force is meant to do this mission even though I'm not sure they've had to yet.
The Movie Delta Force was loosely based on TWA flight 847. It would have been cool if it was real. The Navy guy did die and that was real, but not the rest. I've always been fascinated by Airplane Hostage situations. I moved into one of my houses growing up because the guy who lived there was killed by terrorist.

It can't be the easiest thing to do. And failure is catastophic. But Americans do hostage rescues:
