Conflict rises as U.S. Soldiers free hostages in Isis. Nearly 70 hostages were freed from an Isis controlled prison as elite US soldiers rush inside before it was too late. Col. Steve Warren states the hostages would have been executed because "[they] saw freshly dug graves". If it wasn't for the courageous acts of these American soldiers then innocent lives would have been lost. The cost of this victory was the life of one U.S. soldier, Master Sgt. Joshua L. Wheeler. Joshua's life has been the first in four years to be taken in Isis but his death will never be forgotten.
With this victory America still stands as the most powerful nation, & it relates to the 1900's when the U.S. was still the most powerful nation during Theodore Roosevelt's reign.
