Supposedly they lacked “warfighting toughness” and were "unprepared" but they don't look that way in the live fire drills posted before the debacle by DoD in order to show how tough and prepared they were.

So are the videos misleading propaganda, and the gunboats really are just paper tigers, or are we seeing more disinformation now? Given the history of this administration putting out false information it is hard to know.

If the Navy training is so poor that it really is possible to capture two US Navy gunboats with a couple of speedboats, then we could expect that a US Coast Guard cutter would surrender to a medium sized fishing boat. Funny, that hasn't ever happened, has it.

Published reports suggest they only have 6 of the gunboats in the area, so some of the crew involved in the debacle may also be in these videos.
