I'll repeat the same thing I posted on another similar thread . . .

These effete "armchair generals" at the NY Post are way out of line here. They have no idea what all of the facts surrounding this situation were, and I don't remember them offering the same silly criticism of the U.S. and its military personnel back in 2001 when those E-3 crew members were "captured" by the Chinese in the Hainan Island incident and held for 10 days.

I am aggravated by arm-chair warriors as well. However, the crew of the E-3 did not defame the US government on TV with smiles on their faces.

It was an EP-3, and as a US Naval Officer let me give you my opinion.

Someone most likely can force you to say anything, but you had damned sure make them make you.

I found the conduct of these Brits embarrassing. And by the way, I'm not alone in Naval Air in thinking that our Aviators should have put the EP-3 into the water, vice landing in China.
