Seal Team 6 has rescued an American hostage in Nigeria. The hostage was taken captive earlier this week in Niger and moved to the neighboring country of Nigeria.

According to Fox News:

The elite SEAL Team 6 staged a daring raid in the West African country of Nigeria, rescuing Philip Walton, 27, who had been taken hostage, officials told Fox News.

“We had to get him before any potential trade or sale,” one U.S. official said.

“U.S. forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of 31 October in Northern Nigeria to recover an American citizen held hostage by a group of armed men,” Jonathan Hoffman, chief Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement.

“We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation,” Hoffman added. “The United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the world.”

Seal Team 6 killed a number of his captors during the raid. None of the Seals were injured and the hostage is now in the care of the U.S. Department of State.



  1. Proud to be an American! Proud of the American Military! Proud of this American President!!! (Rock, USA Ret.)

  2. If this had been Biden, he would have let the world know about this raid before it happened.
    It’s a good thing we have President Trump

      1. Biden was probably the one having them held !!! And was going to try to deal with the U.S.A. for their release . would not surprise me any. Just a question good people’s say for some ungodly reason Biden gets in office. Do you think “OUR” MILITARY will stand up for us or communist Biden Hillary and kamala ??? Could I get some opinions please

        1. Use of our military (excepting the National Guard) have directives in place that allow the top military brass to refuse orders of using them inside the US. Now if a foreign government tries to use any force then the US military can and would be deployed. The NG for the most part are controlled by the individual state. A national emergency could activate the NG done by the President. Our biggest problem in that area is DSHS. The head if that group can take control of all resources within the US Military, Banks, medical, power grids, oil products including gas, and the list is quite long. Do some research and then cringe because the order to activate is from the President but controlled by others and there are no automatic stops in place.

      2. If it were Biden his senile mind would’ve been like “Send the SEALS? Yeah I’ll like seals. They’re so cute and fluffy.”

        1. Quid Pro Joe, “I used to have a seal when I was at the top of my class in the Black College. I think I gave it to Corn Pop after I beat him up behind the wood shed. Hey Jill~~ I want seal for supper.”

    1. You have no idea what would have happened under Biden.
      You do know what happened to OBL under Bush.
      You do know what happened to OBL under Trump.
      Whatever happened to OBL?

      1. And what is YOUR story on Benghazi??? I notice that you didn’t mention THAT one! Albert, you really should crawl back into the hole you crawled out of!

      2. GWB gave to order to kill OBL. Not Obama. The order was still standing under Obama! Donald Trump had nothing to do with the oder to kill OBL or the subsequent act itself. NEITHER DID OBAMA! You m0r-0n jack-azz.

  3. now how about the entire country being held under assault by the nwo communist dem party and their co conspiritors including all the non arrests and non indictments and funders of same no matter who they are nor how much money they have including our/their fbi,cia courts,judges,prosecuters and msm.

      1. 52% of Veterans support Trump.
        Among veterans who first enlisted or entered the officer corps after 2001, about 60 percent said they have a negative view of Trump’s presidency.

        The latest Military Times poll shows a continued decline in active-duty service members’ views of President Donald Trump and a slight but significant preference for former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming November election among troops surveyed.

      1. I like lead throwers flame thrower is a nice peice .just don’t really want to smell a commie burn But I could get use to it just like cleaning stalls. Just another type of shit I guess . And I have smelt worse back when I painted water tanks . And may have been in your city. I have been state to state painting them . smells like sewer after they drain the water out of them. That’s not a joke . so it must be about the way them swamp ass Democraps smell. Peeeyeeeeeuuuuu

  4. Please AMERICA don’t even think about trading in our excellent President for a criminal POS who has been selling us out for 47 years and a woman who slept her way to the bottom.

  5. What a major difference we have in trump versus Obama. I read of a similar situation that happened in Afghanistan when Obama was president and the SEALS were sent in. They had located the hostage and were locked and loaded. All they needed was the greenlight from Obama. What did 44 do? He had the soldiers delay the raid for 24 hours to hear back from him (Obama was on vacation of course). When Obama finally gave the green light, the soldiers returned but the terrorists and hostage moved to another location, haven’t been seen since. Trump moves quick and gets fast results. First time I’ve ever seen a true return on my voting investment with Trump. Trump 2020 all the way!!!

  6. This is why we need Trump as president. Our military can perform without their hands being tied So if the election goes the other way and Biden is elected I implore all patriots to sit back and let them self destruct we will get our country back in record time

    1. Alfred Rodino
      You seem to forget a very important thing the international laws governing any actions any military does, is the USA to become like some rouge nation who does not in any way follow the laws of  Humanitarianism and not care about innocent persons being killed or injured. Even in actual conflict in any war there are rules to follow called ROE and one of those rules is you are not allowed to shoot a person who is running away even if carrying a weapon in the back, they must pose an imminent threat to you in order to shoot them.

  7. Now to raise the things our secretive forces do is not good for them in any way, just like any other secretive things in this Government they have over sight in those groups and they should not be exposed as to what they do. Now when some want to make it a big thing to make someone else look good, the fact is it is not good for the secrecy of the operations in any way, actually giving our enemies insight into how our secretive operations are carried out so they know how to avoid or disrupt those actions in the future, secret is just that secret.

  8. God Bless our wonderful President who makes us proud and respected globally. Unlike the Obama-Biden 8 yrs of embarrassment! MAGA 2020

    1. Who, with global presence, respects Trump?
      The Obama-Biden 8 yrs of pulling us out of the biggest recession since the Great Depression was such an embarrassment.
      The highest stock market, ever, was just plain awful.

      1. Albert, You should, really stop taking the medications the Clinton’s Big Pharma has prescribed for you. They are causing brain damage!

  9. Gotta be proud of our team and President.
    Biden or Obama would never make the decision
    as timely as Trump if at all.

    1. Were you proud of our team and the President when they got Bin Laden?
      Who made the decision to get Bin Laden?
      President Trump?

  10. What will we really do if biden wins? Even if Pres. Trump gets another term, what will happen after his next 4 years. There is a vile new anti American set of values being followed by most democrats and many of their followers. What will we really do when the time comes. Reminder, it is the time now.

    1. The best that we can pray for is that President Trump will again send Seal Team Six to Capture Nancy Ugly Pelosi, with all those Dummuercrat Congressmen, and Slick Dishonest Bill and Crooked Hillary, and all BLM Members, then load them all in C-5’s and dump them in Somolia. Sleepy Joe doesn’t matter because he doesn’t even know where he is.

      Senior Chief, U.S. Navy, Retired

    2. There is a new set of values that is being followed by the majority of Americans under fifty, and their followers.

      What will we really do when the time comes?
      Do the right thing when your time comes, die!

      .

  11. Congrats to President Trump and Seal Team 6 … our Citizen is safe now !
    President Trump is not like Obama … Obama gave up Seal Team 6 to appease the Muslim Arabs for taking out BinLaden … Obama should have been hanged for that one and many other acts of TREASON !

  12. I have not voted for a Democrat for 44 years and I will never do it again !
    Vote a Straight Republican Ticket …. President Trump & VP Pence 2020 !

    1. If I voted for parties I would vote for Trump.
      I vote for people, Trump turns my stomach and by extension all of his good buddies.

      1. Nice choice of fake names, I suppose it is no accident that you chose one of the most heinous members of Hitler’s top henchmen?

  13. The seals didn’t talk to the captors very much. Oh, Seals DON’T talk to enemies, they k-i-double hockey sticks them.

  14. AWESOME!! I think he’s up to 55 hostages rescued now. Also, there have been hundreds of children rescued from traffickers. People need to remember that!

  15. the benefit of revoking security clearance from all the leakers ,now we just need to see the same leakers giving us good ‘leaks’ from a certain large high security carrabean island ‘ resort ‘ . And did Trump really use team 6 ?, as in another poke n the eye for deepswamp , they killed the last team 6 .

  16. Now if he would just send the SEAL’s in to close the abortion clinics who murder 3,000 American EVERY DAY . . . !
