wotc kidnapped soldiers recovery?
how do you recover kidnapped soldiers? i did 10+ missions after one of my soldiers got kidnapped, but no covert mission to rescue him ever popped up.

what faction does the rescueing? or it doesn't matter what faction i suck up to to rescue captured soldiers?

It is in the covertops, example Assassins kidnapping are always reapers rescue.
Warlock kidnapping are skirmishers. and Hunter kidnapping are templars.

I only gotten the recovery after I killed the chosen.

First you need to build a building called the resistance ring. Here you will get a covert OP to find the location of the captured soldier (Mine was Mox). Then you send 3 soldiers on a covert mission to rescue them (unconscious) out of a prison cell. I'd recommend bringing a specialist with decent hacking skill and a reaper to scout the area before sending your other 2 in. Hope this helped and good luck with the rescue

Not sure what triggers the covert OP, maybe its just random

ya i did the basic one with the story, where mox gets kidnapped, i started a new game later on, and didn't go with the story, so a different character got kidnapped [not mox, he's not in this game] but i hae no idea how to rescue him

It should be the faction fighting the chosen in the area your soldier got captured.
Mind you, make sure the operation actually lists the soldiers name - I got a mission to rescue a nameless soldier, and ended up with no actual soldier rescued.

Will only recovers over time by not doing missions, and sanity you need to put them into the psych ward in the infirmary

i think i saw a templar card that boosts the will recovery if i am not mistaken, im just curious if there's another way to boost its recovery speed?

The covert OP's change monthly, so there is a chance, you will receive a recovery mission. In my case each of the Chosen kidnapped one soldier, and i received the first recovery mission for the last kidnapped soldier first - seems to be random. Fact is, a lot of time passed after the kidnapping. The next recovery mission appeared one month later. It doesn't matter, if you already killed the Chosen, who kidnapped your soldier. And it doesn't matter, if the chosen the kiddnapper is dead already. Your soldier is still alive somewhere. If the recovery OP's trigger by killing any Chosen - i don't know. I received my first recovery mission when one of them was already dead. Just continue playing and see what happens:)
