We’re “scrambling”? Really?
This is serious BS.
Riverine boats are small...but generally armed to the teeth, and fast.
If there were two and one started drifting, why didn’t the other one tow it to safety?
Or, if things started getting dicey, why didn’t the guys on the one get on the other and high tail it?
Failing all of that, why didn’t they call for help and then light up the approaching Iranian craft?
something is seriously not right about this story. One day we will know what it is.
This is crazy.
When the Iranians attempted to phase Reagan in the 1980s, he blew the hell out of the Iranian Navy in a day. Google Operation Preying Mantis.
We have a rag tag, coastal defense force taking US sailors prisoner?
Give them 8 hours to give us EVERYTHING back, and then unleash hell.
We were ambushed in Intl waters. But the Wizzard of BOZ and his Court will not come clean....this is serious.
BTTT
bttt surprised so few freepers tracking this
We should have unleashed hell in 1979. Unfortunately we had another P*ssy running the country who was almost as stupid as the current one.
This is weird... last time my brother was in that area it was dark and they were so alert for Iranians everyone had itchy trigger fingers... in ‘peacetime.’ One crewman in my brother’s craft dropped one of those heating discs in a drink bottle and dropped it overboard so it would drift past the second Mark V ... when it did the bottle burst and all hell broke loose on the second boat as they thought they had been shot at and began firing themselves at the unknown assailants...and the first boat joined in because no one saw the crewman drop the bottle. Of course that could be sea story bull, but maybe it’s true. The Iranian speedboats are usually run by the IRG not their conventional Navy and they are notorious assholes, I can’t picture a US sailor willing to comply with them after what Iran’s done in the past to captured Americans... and as redundant as his boat was a breakdown would not stop them.
I wonder if this was a staged thing intended to show that Iran is ‘changed’ for the purposes of an upcoming vote on sanctions... seems like there was another ‘let’s show America they’re human’ incident when Obama was trying to ease up on Iran a couple years ago. This just happens to occur when dingleberry gives his SOTU? Let’s see if he uses it.
The link below takes anyone to how Reagan had our Navy rip the hell out some Iranian Navy forces:
Are these guys aweigh yet?
That's what we were told by Josh Earnest, right?
