The truth will come out. Unless all ten of the sailors are threatened with silence, once discharged they will be free to speak without retribution unless the mission was covert in some way or fashion.

The mission was in no way covert.
“Riverine Squadron” boats are the mall guards of the small boat navy. The other end of the spectrum from SWCC. They were on a routine transit / redeployment from Kuwait to Bahrain. That is why they had their passports.

Each boat has a five-person crew, and that is what was on each boat. No troops, no spooks, no SEALs. (That is the SWCC mission)

They will be. Look at the silence of the 30+ from the Benghazi CIA Annex. They have never come forward and even their identities have not been made public. The Obama regime is very effective at obscuring what they don't wan't to come out.

Not true, NDA's last forever, and violations can carry stiff penalties, both fines and new lodging in Kansas. I have things in my head I can no longer tell myself, let alone anyone else. But protecting them is at least legit.
