I have a $25 refurbished Garmin GPS in my car. It would never let me get so far off the highway that I would drive into Canada or Iran if I was on the water.

I simply don’t think those sailors were in Iranian waters. If they were they need to go back to basic training.

I hope Trump or somebody points out that our sailors were being humiliated by the Iranians — at the very same time that a Democrat President was saying “the United States is the most powerful nation in the world.”

Two things America needs. A real Congress and a real navy with grownups that can figure out wher they are. Bush used the navy to gift the Chiness a P3 Orian intel platform. What did Obama gift Iran here?

I can believe the Iranians went out and drug them into Iranian waters.

I guess if they were holding guns to my head I might have agreed with them.

Now my old man who was a combat veteran of WWII would probably have told them to stuff it.

Maybe the girl is why they didn’t fight.

There was a Hotshot forest fire crew that was wiped out a several years ago. It had two females in the crew. I believe the final report was that the males went back to get the females and died.

Might be the same story here.

Something really fishy going on. Watch not one of these sailors will be interviewed by the msm.

Those craft are very good at what they were designed for. Fast...armed to the teeth.

But that presumes they will be used properly and that their CINC will stand behind them, order them to stand firmly against enemies, and will send them...immediately...the help they may need.

The stories that they have communicated to us about this sound more and more like whooey...sort of like the Benghazi story.
