I think that you fail to understand the American mindset at the same time however. The point is that we would try, because it's the right thing to do. Those guys in the HRT would do it without question to their superiors, even if the guy in there was wired to a nuke. The point is that they have a plan for everything and they train for it. Sure, we may not have as much in-the-field experience as other countries, but sometimes that just doesn't mean jack shit. The 1980 situation was a debacle, but the American Military just doesn't fuck up like that twice, and we have learned from it. That operation resulted in the creation of the 161st SOAR Night Stalkers, and the need for better training was never more evident, so everyone in federal law enforcement and the military stepped it up so that they would have a response to this kind of situation. I know it's not the same as the Russian situation, but I guarantee you that we would try to save those children and take down the bad guys, no ifs ands or buts.
