A team of eight men enters a room, in what seems to be a structure of the Islamic state. A black flag is hanging on the wall. Men in camouflage are well armed and perform memory movements. They wear Kevlar helmet with US manufacturing optics and armor. The walls of the structure are in concrete. Macerie everywhere, bullet holes in the walls, smoke. The movies from the The Washington Post and from NBC show the soldiers of the Delta Force during assault in jail near Hawijah, northern Iraq, where Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, veteran of special wards with eleven charges in Iraq and Afghanistan, lost his life.
In the video you clearly hear shots, screaming in Arabic. Same Delta provide information to hostages in their language. The raid was deemed a success, with 70 detainees released, ten terrorists eliminated and twenty arrested.
Sergeant Joshua Wheeler was awarded the Purple Heart. He leaves four children. He is a hero. Some of her decorations, which can not be shown to the public, will wear them for the last time before resting forever.
The operation was conducted by the Delta Force, although this is not included in the Pentagon report. In reality, the US military does not even recognize the existence of the Delta, as well as other units top secret that the Americans themselves ignore. These teams are directly employed by the Joint Special Operations Command and have carried out some of the major operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Unlike the advertised (and beloved ones) SEAL of the Marina, of the Delta Force practically nothing is known.
We know that Delta operators have entered the 11 September 2012 in the rescue mission of State Department personnel during the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. The Delta also captured Ahmed Abu Khattala, one of the terrorists involved in the attack planning, in June of the 2014. A month after that operation, a Delta Force commando came into action in an attempt to rescue a number of American hostages in Syria, including US humanitarian worker Kayla Mueller and journalist James Foley. The Mission failed with the death of Mueller and Foley. A commando Delta he eliminated Abu Sayyaf, in Syria, captured his wife and freed the couple's slave. After the operation failed Eagle Claw, in the 1980, in Iran, all the units of the American antiterrorism were revised, reworked and shaped. The Delta were used in the invasions of Granada and Panama and in the search for the Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. In the 1993, the Delta suffered a harsh lesson in Somalia in the failed assault that was supposed to lead to the annihilation of the chain of command of the warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid. In that mission (planned in a completely "superficial" way), 18 American soldiers died: among these five Delta. After the September 11, the Delta Force was used to eliminate the al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders in Afghanistan.
Delta, Seal and other JSOC teams have a virtually "unlimited" budget that can not be reduced by law. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, visibly shaken at the arrival of Sergeant Wheeler's corpse, at Dover's base in Delaware, announced that all US special departments received carte blanche.
"We are saddened for losing our valiant soldier, a hero, but we have avoided a massive atrocity, the prisoners were chained to the walls. We got the go-ahead to the raid after they realized they would be executing them shortly. We protect the innocent and our special wards are no seconds to anyone. "
Sergeant Joshua Wheeler was thrown to the ground immediately after the raid by a heavy carpet bombardment.
"The Air Force and the Marines have launched against everything they had in flight at the time".
In this way the valiant operator of the special departments was honored.
