When I was a youth my friend's dad worked as an engineer in the Saudi oil fields. One day he ended up with a bullet in his back, authorities said it was a botched robbery, but it was Jihad. That was about 58 years ago. I had another friend who was 'groped' in Iran. About the same time, '74-75 a US General and a Ambassador were shot in Turkey and another ME country, both full on assassinations. My unit was on stand-by, ready to invade Turkey if needed, we were actually sitting in transports waiting for the GO sign. This doesn't even count the Navy Diver that was executed by the PLO or any number of other attacks. Same Operators. Only difference is these days our 'Leaders' have joined the BGs and decided to shoot us in the back as well.
