Biography[]

Jesse Sexton was born in 1974 in Oakland, California. He became a worker for an oil drilling company, and he became the manager of an oil rig that operated in the Pacific Ocean. The Russian Army took over the oil rigs and took Sexton and his crew hostage, setting up SAM sites and using the workers as human shields; the United States could not destroy the SAM sites on the rigs due to the risk of killing the hostages. A team of Navy SEALs and Special Boat Service operatives were sent to rescue them, and they did so successfully.
