The Brits are allowing their cowards to sell their stories, the Marines are the ones who really have a story to tell about what a real soldier endured for 444 days.

The toughest hostage of all was a diplomat, Mike Metrinko. He was held in solitary for over nine months. He was the least cooperative of all.

I was a senior in HS - I joined the 82nd ABD while they were held.

Gee, wonder why this didn’t appear on the front page of the NYT recently? Oh, that’s right. Wouldn’t want to embarass the nice Muzzies (or that puke Carter) would we? San-Fran-Nan would be upset.

Thankfully there were a few of our ‘boomer’ generation with some b**s.

There is no shame in being captured. The shame comes in how you conduct yourself. These 15 Brits have shamed themselves and their country.

Who was the black marine that accepted the propaganda release for women and nonwhite male Americans?

This should be forwarded to the British Embassy, the UN Security Council, and the DNC. Just to harass them, because it will not change them.

Pity the poor Brits. All they had was the history of the E.U. and the U.N. as examples.

That Joe Subic guy was SOOOO accomodating to the dirty Iranians that the Iranians nicknamed him "BROTHER SUBIC".

He was the guy who eagerly pointed out the fluent Farsi speaker among the Americans, an intel guy who promptly got the crap beat out of him.

Can you believe the guy went on to become POLICE CHIEF...? In Florida, or something...

Well, that's now a dead link, however, the story is from the Gainesville newspaper, out of Florida.

Seem Mr. Subic has been charged with two counts of insurance fraud.

Somewhere around March 3, 2007.

Thanks for that info, I wonder what the Army did with him? Can’t believe they didn’t take some kind of action against him.
