Please do not forget the SAS hero who leaped from the turret of a pre-attacked, then burning tank, jumped over a high barbed wire fence to rescue his friend in Iraq, and just how much the SAS do each day that is Never mentioned. The SAS Are Real James Bond Men. We owe them very Much Indeed.

The SAS have a long history with Kenya, going back to the Mau Mau uprisings....but lets not go there hey.
They are pretty much in most parts of the world, operating 'solo', where situations need to have an eye kept on them.

...having gone through extreme, hard training for precisely this sort of thing.

Yes mate, but he's a highly trained operative, and knows what he is doing, most of the general population, would not have had his training, most of us would have been killed in seconds if we'd tried to do the same.

I'm not saying this didn't happen, but the media loves to create a narrative with a hero involved. Nearly every terrorist attack will involve the bad guys and a hero. Normally an off duty cop or retired vet.

I just see it as social conditioning. I imagine the SAS were there pretty soon, seeing as Mossad were already involved in the rescue.

So you say "in your opinion" which of course and always will be respected... that the media loves to create a narrative with a hero involved and see it as social conditioning...!

So, please tell me, where did you get the information that the Mossad were involved... media or your own "internal sources"?

I QUOTE YOU HERE (and also underline your last statement) :

I am a little confused by your post and would appreciate a clearer explanation if you can please?

I'm not surprised, the SAS are the best in the world bar none, that's the reason why other countries model their special forces after them and that's why they have, on many occasions been tasked to train others.

Israel has taken the leading role among foreign countries in aiding and advising Kenyan forces after al-Shabaab Islamist extremists attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, according to security and intelligence sources.

The fact the daily mail picks up on one SAS soldier, whom we are meant to assume is off duty, is about creating a British hero of the hour.
