IT WAS a fitting image of the 14 wimps and a sob sister arriving back in the United Kingdom yesterday: skulking away with pink goody bags in hand.
The color was no accident - although yellow would've been more appropriate.

I’m not sure what’s more distressing: The complete cooperation of the captured Brits, or the seeming complete acceptance of such behavior by the British government/people.
Better than a white flag.
Khatami, the terrorist: "So you agree with us, then, next year, Britons must learn that the 19th century has passed.
Britain will soon become a defeated and isolated power. All your islands will be our Caliphate --
and with you, converted to Islam, ruling the dhimmis as our local apparent king."
Don’t hold back there Ralph... Let your real feelings come out.
Reminds me of the clowns who handed the Chinese our spy plan without any effort to evade being forced down. Bet the guys/girls on the ground taking a pounding daily have a few things to say about this.
Now we have “British” surrender monkeys. On second thought, make it European surrender monkeys.
Ouch. That's going to leave a mark.
Was not most of the equipment destroyed by the crew as SOP ?
That plane had no combat capabilities.
“Earlier this week, I had dinner with a retired American Marine colonel who worked with and respected the Royal Marines. He could only shake his head.
Several times, he had started to reach for the phone to ask his old counterparts if there was some insider explanation for the conduct of those Cheshire-cheese-eating surrender monkeys gushing their thanks to Ahmadinejad and the Iranian people for all the hospitality.
My friend, a man with a chest full of combat ribbons, never made the call. He knew the answer. And he didn’t want to add to the shame of the splendid Royal Marines with whom he’d served.”
Interesting article.

I had a similar conversation this week with a friend of mine who has worked with them.
Did those guys give news conferences defaming their government? Did they do it with smiles on their faces? Did they express gratitude to their captures for the "gift" of their release? I must have missed all that.
I want so badly to give them the benefit of doubt but those pictures and videos.......what an insult to those Brit troops on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It will probably be on FNS,
same parent company.
Thanks for the heads up.
