that explains the boat breakdown, but what about radio breakdown as well, plus “lost touch with the fleet”, how do you explain that? i can’t believe we don’t have Aegis tracking everything afloat in the gulf, certainly two of our own. how do you explain that? both radios, AND the fleet radar?
I appreciate your comments.
IF one of the boats broke down, the other one would have hung around. I don’t think there is much argument there. So, here they are broke down SOMEWHERE and having been in this situation (but not in a hot war zone) I can tell u they were burning up the radio with commanding officers about “g-damnit, are you in Iranian waters” or “what the F EXACTLY is wrong with the fng boat” and on and on.
Meanwhile, the Iranians see their chance and rush in whether in International Waters or not. Our guys ROEs will not let them fire UNLESS fired upon. So, not wanting to get court martialed, they didn’t, and let these bastards get too close and it was game over.
That our guys just surrendered was pre ordained by the WH ROE’s. The cowardly White House, with the nutless/incompetent acquiescence of Top Admirals and
Generals, and a run away JAG Corp, are totally responsible for this humiliation of America.
Then, let’s not forget the Uni Party! Ultimately, American voters elected these worthless bastards so those that voted for these slimes (the 44-47%) are at the top of the responsibility totem pole.
And we evidently don’t put compasses in boats these days. Ancient mariners did well on the unknown seas without GPS, satellites, fleet radars and communication equipment. Doubt these were even sailors dressed as they were.
