Yeah, but look how diverse they were. What's more important?

They are spending all their time preparing for the transvestites soon to join them.

I’ll prepared but I bet they were sensitive to the gender selection/sexual orientation of fellow sailors. That is what truly matters these days.

WEAK LEADERSHIP....

Obama has done his best to replace the upper echelon of commanders in every branch of our Military. He doesn’t want our troops to be prepared. he wants them to be embarrassed and run away. He wants to diminish our stature in the world.

What could go wrong? Fags. Metrosexuals. Men parading as women. Women parading as men. All are preferred classes in today’s joke of a military. What could go wrong?

Our response should have been to destroy every single boat in Iran. No matter where or the current purpose. Now they laugh at us.

They were not allowed to shoot the Iranians
because Iran outranks all US military at the
White MOsque. The goal of the exercise
was to transfer tech to Iran (TREASON) and to
make the NAVY cry.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anybody besides me just not buying this story? In order to believe this report you would have to accept that not one but two military craft loaded with high tech equipment lost all communications and ability to navigate. Just floating aimlessly in enemy waters. Then you have to depressingly believe our navy personnel are a bunch of snow flakes who at age 20 something can’t stay up all night and then take a fast boat ride somewhere. In addition you have to accept that they are a bunch of snivelling weaklings too scared to blow a couple of bass boats out of the water with overwhelming firepower. Then start boo hooing after capture.

If this story is true which I doubt we are in bigger trouble than I thought.

“Report: US sailors ill-prepared for Iran encounter in Gulf”

WHY? . . . Kerry?

Have you come across any other news article other than the AP sourced ones everyone is using. None cite specific original USN Investigative report or link to origin.

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.

Not to worry, the new openly transgender Navy will be prepared, they’ll bring their parasols -the sun is brutal on the Gulf of Hormuz.
