One of the hostages was a woman.

Anyone else concerned these are our 'elite' soldiers? Apologizing on Iranian TV within hours of being captured.

What happened to "name, rank, serial number" and shut up. Doesn't look like he's been tortured.

Are the ranks of Marines now filled with PC surrender monkey cowards?

Video shows American sailor’s apology to Iran, contradicts White House

Democrats are pathological liars in general, and the current crop is the most concentrated sludge at the bottom of the cesspool.

Our leadership is a pack of liars and I hope to see them all jailed someday.

When you are led by one, why would you fight?

This sailor just got off the phone with Kerry is my guess

This capture was planned WITH IRAN by Team Zero well before these two boats departed their place of origin, IMO. They found a 'commander' who would apologize and placed him on this mission. Perhaps only HE knew exactly what would transpire as part of this 'capture mission'. He knew EXACTLY what to say in violation of the existing code of conduct. He will NOT be Court Martialed because he did exactly what the mission entailed him to do.

Congress should interrogate this commander under oath. Perhaps the truth might come out. This is NOT what it appears to be. This was a thoroughly planned operation by the grand saboteurs at Team Zero to embarrass the U.S. and put it in its place.

Sorry but a sailor is NOT A MARINE nor in the ranks of any Devil Dog.

“Are the ranks of Marines now filled with PC surrender monkey cowards? “

Those aren’t Marines.

I saw the pics and some of those boys are chubby with facial hair and definitely not Marines.

We rolled over far too easily; this seems like it was almost planned as another humiliation of the US with the connivance of some part of the chain of command. Maybe the ROEs now say don’t fight and do whatever the Obama beloved Iranians tell you to do.

Looking sharp America.

For crying out loud, isn’t the Navy training sailors how to behave in the face of the enemy or when in captivity anymore???

[don-o]

If this is accurate, he damn well be standing tall before the man.

Soon.

[catnipman]

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

[windsorknot]

Pathetic. This is the true State of the Union.

[gcraig]

Totally agree with you. This is unacceptable. What happened to the code of conduct?

[Boogieman]

“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.

[Zack Attack]

Certainly wouldn’t be surprised if they received a phone call ordering them to apologize as the admin didn’t want the order appearing as if it came from up high in the chain of command.

The one thing you can count on is that if it makes the Democrats look bad, the Press is going to try and cover it up.

I’m an old member from back in the Clinton years. Been away for a LONG time but back to mostly lurk and read. However, I felt I had to address this so I created a new user - forgot the old creds, LOL

These are Sailors - not Marines. And they are not “elite” - they are NECC - regular Navy. They are not SWCCs and not SEALs.

In all likelihood if they had been SpecWar Sailors we’d be discussing the results of a rather large gunfight right now instead of an apology.
