Female Sailor Commended For 'Extraordinary Courage' in Iran Boat Seizure

A female U.S. sailor was recognized last week for her efforts during the January incident that resulted in Iran detaining 10 Americans.

Military.com reports the only female among the two crews of the Navy riverine boats that entered Iranian waters off Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf managed to activate an emergency beacon while she was kneeling, bound, and being held at gunpoint with her colleagues.

The title of the article had me wondering if this was yet another PC move by the Navy. But it looks like the female sailor really did do good.

She was terrified. Did you see those photos of her in the corner. How is that courageous? Poor thing probably got raped too.

[factoryrat]

Two crews, only female, and apparently the only one with “balls” between all of them.

She may have appeared to be terrified, but she still performed admirably.

If she managed to activate an emergency beacon, that should mean that the seizure point was "made" while they were still in international waters.

Why didn't "Yellerbacks" Kerry & 0bammy say anything about that?

You’re right, the article has been moved or deleted. Here’s a related article:

Colleagues? How about they were shipmates.
And why didn't anyone activate the emergency beacon BEFORE they were captured?

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

This was a failed false flag event.

1) That one U.S. boat had enough firepower on board to take out a city. Did you see the puny Iranian boat(s) and measly firepower purported to have overcome that U.S. vessel?

2) The sailors in the video did NOT have tans. Seriously, think about it. NO tans. How the hell does a sailor spend any time at sea and NOT have a tan? The “sailors” were all CIA plants.

3) The Obama administration is attempting to start a war.

[Donglalinger]

I’m not saying it’s not deserved but why did they wait to be boarded and tied up before activating it?

[PIF]

With such mystery surrounding the entire incident, this real life female superhero shtick is a shoo in for a movie. Calling BS on the story.

[Leaning Right]

Newsmax seems to have taken this article down. But my link in post #7 still works. To avoid confusion, is there any way we can add that fact to my original post?

[AmusedBystander]

You know the Navy is down and out when the only heroic story during the Obama years is that a female sailor pushed a button after they were taken prisoner.

[Hulka]

Agree.

[Cementjungle]

She must be the only one in the bunch who has agreed to campaign for Hillary.

She was 2nd gunner on the boat... wonder why she couldn't pull the trigger when the Iranians were getting too close for comfort?

"She was terrified. Did you see those photos of her in the corner. How is that courageous?"

Courage isn't the lack of fear. Courage is standing strong and confronting danger despite the fact you're scared to death.

[Leaning Right]

wonder why she couldn't pull the trigger when the Iranians were getting too close for comfort?

Probably waiting for an order that never came.

[treetopsandroofs]

“She may have appeared to be terrified, but she still performed admirably.”

So we should completely trust THIS “news” article?

[Lumper20]

There is/was not one hero in the entire bunch. I am sure they had weapons loaded where they were. Why did no one fire? The Navy LT got lost. How in the hell do you get mis -oriented today? Hell I gave 8 digit coordinates with a compass my feet and a map to FAC’s. These are not heroes.

“wonder why she couldn’t pull the trigger when the Iranians were getting too close for comfort”

Would have probably needed permission from superiors for that. Supposedly we are currently not at war......Supposedly.
