The Navy needs people to tape encounters? That is ridiculous.
First, the perpetuators are going to claim the video is fake no matter HOW professional it was done.
Second, the Left Wing America haters would believe anything the enemy says anyway before the Navy no matter how professional the videos.
Third, 80% of America trusts the military already and no matter what you do or say the remaining 20% will never be convinced of anything.
Fourth, everytime something like this happens, the Left Wing cries GULF OF TONKIN! They did it when the Brits were captured, they did it when we accused Iran of providing explosives to insurgents, they did it when we captured Iranians in Iraq, they did it when Israel knocked out a Syrian nuclear installation, and they are doing it NOW as they call these videos fake............
OTOH, a crewman on the Iowa caught the external view of the turret explosion on tape.
Now that you put it that way, it is ridiculous!
