The Obama administration got blindsided Wednesday when Iran released a video of showing one of 10 captured sailors apologizing to his captors for the two Navy vessels that strayed into Iranian waters â just hours after Vice President Joe Biden had insisted that thereâd been no apology.
âIt was a mistake, that was our fault, and we apologize for our mistake,â a young sailor tells a camera.

Sorry but a sailor is NOT A MARINE nor in the ranks of any Devil Dog. The exception being the Naval Corpsman.

So fun to see even the Iranians calling out Obama’s lies.

This is just a reverse of the “False Flag” op like the Recihstag fire or Poland attacking Germany.
It was done with the cooperation of the “enemy” to make them look good.

I figured it was some kind of op FOR Iran as soon as I heard it.
Delivery or personal meeting.

Pathetic. This is the true State of the Union.

I would IMMEDIATELY go on a hunger strike in protest and I’m not even a veteran. I ain’t touchin’ Iranian poison, and if anyone eats it should be just ONE of them then wait and see what happens before anyone else eats but NONE of them should be eating!
To: TigerClaws
Totally agree with you. This is unacceptable. What happened to the code of conduct?

“One of the hostages was a woman.”
A woman who, it is apparent from the pictures, they forced to wear a head covering after her capture.

Though I must defer to any Marine’s opinion on the Corpsman comment.
I am only going on what I have herd other Marines opine.
My Marine son is training with Swabbies, and the Marines demand a higher standard than does the Navy for the same training.

“I don’t buy it. The Left is media-savvy enough to know that timing is extremely important. “
Big Media reported it but all the Hussein Heads were focused on their god was going to talk to them, and a lot of Republicans were busy bashing and hating Trump.
Feint, distraction and obfuscation.
It’s who they are. It’s what they do.

Did everybody notice they had the woman sitting in a corner like she wasn't being allowed to eat with the crew? None of them should have eaten a bite unless she was eating too. It really ticked me off to see these people smiling and eating and not a mark on any of them. A few weeks ago I read of an incident in which a US Army Master Sgt. who was a Prisoner of War was instructed by the Germans to identify which American soldiers were Jewish.
He informed the German officer "We are all Jews here."
We aren't much making that caliber of people these days.

I bet if they sink one of our ships, Hillary's numbers go way up and Obama's approval ratings skyrocket!

That’s the British female sailor from 2007, not the American one.

She’s fortunate that was the extent of her harassment.

I believe the correct term is “corpsemen”, after all the CIC would know.

We don't and we will never find out the truth from Obama's military. Only Iranian boasting might reveal more details.

I don’t get it. I guess they just don’t ingrain the mental toughness in these kids anymore. Better to show up on camera bleeding a little when the enemy is trying to exploit your situation.

Here's our American female "sailor" looking "tough".
