From hostage rescuing and fast roping to skydiving and stress shooting, the United States Special Operations Forces has mastered the ability to remain cool under pressure.
U.S. troops carried out a dramatic raid in northwest Syria that led the Islamic State's top leader to kill himself and his family as American forces closed in, President Joe Biden said Thursday, capping months of secretive planning for an assault designed to minimize the risk to innocent bystanders.
President Biden praised the troops who carried out the operation "to protect the American people and our Allies," amid reports of civilian casualties.
