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.

Have done and been there so why don’t you take a seat for a minute.

both engines did not go broke meaning the other boat could have towed.
Both GPS’s could not have been broke at the same time either.

Why was not airsupport in the air covering them or even on stand by?

You want to fly off the handle then do it when you get a grip of yourself.

I suggest you stick to the cooking blogs. Many of us have military backgrounds, far more than you will ever have.

I was in the military. My guess is these guys were ordered to surrender.

I doubt they even had ammo for their guns.

Been there done that - Army infantry with CIB.

They should have fought. No naval officer should give up his ship to a foreign power without resistance

As a minimum there needs to be an Article 32 investigation. Unless this young officer recieved specific orders from his lawful chain of command to stand down and surrender his command to the Iranians he should face Court's Martial. He if DID recieve orders to surrender it should be published who gave them.
