They did not come back with honor. Several of their party made propaganda films for the enemy. If they were tortured, that is a different matter. Anyone is breakable - ask the American POWs in North Vietnam. But it took years to break some of them. Within days, members of the British military in this photographed cooperated with the enemy (their captors) and made statements against their government.
If there is a heroes welcome for them, I will be disgusted.
Perhaps, but the three gentlemen on the right do not look like happy campers and a brit freeper on another thread said that the Royal Marines in the group have not yet been shown on TV making statements. I think that we may find that some of them comported themselves honorably.
All but the three on the far right have no business being a professional soldier.
Yeah.
No middle finger salutes either, as was so common with the Viet Nam POW photos.
Some did not smile.
