Remember the Pueblo. Lloyd Bucher was almost court martialed.

Probably we will find the trail of the commands and priorities established during the Hillary Clinton Secy of State...check her emails.

Wouldn’t matter, our traitorous leadership would sell them out regardless.

Do you think these kids were set up by the CIC?

I think so

The United States is weak and we are getting weaker by the minute

I beg to differ. As a nation we are not weak, we just have weak leadership. With the proper leadership we could still kick arse. If we get the right leadership in the near future the world will soon see a resurgence of the capabilities of the US ... woe unto the foes of my beloved country.

Our leadership was elected by the people.

I guess it is pretty easy to judge them while I am propped up in my bed in the comfort of my house.

Still I really think they should have fought.

I recently saw the story of the tin can sailors who fought the Japanese battleships with destroyer escorts, destroyers and jeep carriers which did not even have the ordinance to fight battleships.

They fought like tigers and most of them died but they fought so fiercely that the Japanese admiral thought he was fighting the main American force. They did a lot of damage to the Japanese ships including blowing off the entire aft section of a cruiser.

The Japanese turned around and the beachhead was saved.

There is one thing that I know, the story stinks. It does not add up. One of the boats had engine problem, but it worked the next day. One boat did not tow the the other boat. Nothing adds up.

The Moslem Brotherhood/al Qaeda runs the White Mosque
and the Pentagon (bombed by them on 911)
and no one in DC seems to have a problem with it.

Court martial the lot of them until somebody talks. The actions of the crew are indefensible. Bimini topped bass boats beat our Navy.

It is not sickening. This is disgusting, angering, offensive, an abomination. It will take a war to convince our enemies that we are capable of defending ourselves, and the blood of all who die will be on Obama and Kerry and Hillary’s hands.

This thing stinks of a set up or literally staged event. What enemy craft stopped these boats and how did they do it? Why were they all seen wearing brown tshirts? Looks to me like it was staged so no one could identify the men involved.

Screw you people. By all accounts, these guys were in a no win situation.

They got out alive.

Sign up for the military and go into hostile territory all of you. Then you can bitch and whine about how everybody else is a coward.

All this fairy in chief cared and cares about is homosexuals, cross dressers, and PC in the military.

His plan was social change and he did it to the disgrace of a once great military. Now it has become weakened and a laughing stock to Iran.

But hey so what right. As long as he and his wife can enjoy our tax money for their vacations and still fight the hippy war of the 70’s.
