Shameful.

Nobody wants to see our American military in poses like this. The poor female, who had to hide her hair, according to the cultural traditions where she was...

Just one question:
How did the sailors get themselves in that position to be apprehended in Iranian waters?
Why were they there, what was the mission, and why weren't they far out enough to avoid detection and capture?

I'm sure, when the commander-in-chief is back from taking his latest victory laps on the PR circuit, he'll get to the bottom of this and fill us in.

The last thing America needs now is to be provoking another war that we cannot afford.

Let's make certain our sailors never put themselves, or get put, in a situation like this.

We ought to do the same thing to the next group of Iranian sailors we catch in our waters, trolling off our coasts!

Turnabout is fair play.

ADDED:  Comments from the thinking masses:

Best comment I have seen "Two Navy warships were captured by a couple of bass boats" captioning a picture of the US and Iranian boats side by side.

These boats were unarmed and unescorted in hostile or potentially hostile waters. They were also undermanned with 5 persons each.

they did have some machine guns but apparently no ammunition, so unarmed. See Cdr Salamanders analysis here http://blog.usni.org/2016/01/13/the-strategic-everyone also see the comments for more.

Why did our sailors kneel? They should have been trained to sit, regardless of what the captors commanded.

Why did the woman submit to a headscarf? She does not look happy about it but she does have it on. One more reason for no women on combat ships.

Why did the Navy boat break down? Has it been getting adequate maintenance?

Why could the other boat not tow the broken down one?

Why were they there unescorted? We have plenty of warships in the area. One could have been keeping an eye on things with the mission of rapid assistance if needed. Helicopter, for instance.

It is embarrassing enough to be captured by Iranians but it could have been worse. It could have been pirates.

The response from the Navy both local commands and civilian chain of command all the way up to Commander in Chief was shameful.

We apparently did not get back all of the boats. The Iranians kept with the GPS system and may have kept the radio/encryption systems.

Biden and Kerrey's responses in particular were shameful. They should both resign over this but they won't. Biden actually thanked the Iranians for taking the sailors and boats into custody. Just helping out, he called it.

The weather was fine, our guys could call for help with the broken boat. They could have towed the broken boat. If the Iranians wanted to be helpful, they would have just hung about to offer assistance if needed. Boarding under arms is not offering assistance and is not something the VP should be thankful for.

Trump is right. This is a huge deal.
