No matter what you think of the war, it's hard to understand how anyone could think that withdrawing troops because someone took a hostage (or even multiple hostages) is a good idea.

50 or so, IIRC. With those numbers, it's a less bad idea. Of course, with only 50 why bother taking one hostage?
[yes, yes, STP; I think the roster limit is 45, so the taxi squad must have come along]
