And your response would have been what?
Well, armed with my little pistol, facing several iranian navy vessels armed with machine guns, I would knowing I would not be harmed, hand myself over to save my life.
Honestly guys, I've been watching the fox news coverage of this, and to be honest, it makes me laugh. This is not like your hostage crisis, its completely different.
The Iranians are not going to harm these guys and they are almost certainly going to release them,
While it is mighty tough to fight to the death, it really isn't worth risking your life for in this paticular case.
That said, that doesn't mean I don't favour getting tough with them, because I damn well do.
