Last report I saw on this, US admitted issues with their navigational equipment.

I doubt that statement is true, probably just another Obama excuse. How likely is it that not one, but two state of the art Navy combat boats couldn't figure out where they were? Just how did both of their GPS navigation systems fail? And are we really supposed to believe that the US military and intelligence operations can't locate a good sized boat operating in the Straits of Hormuz, or the Persian Sea?

If the navigation systems failed on both boats then we really have to ask what happened to our military - and promptly provide every navy ship and boat with a Garmin GPS and some maps.

You are offering conjecture, lets see these were what 5 men craft? Hey, follow me, I’ll take point, boat 2 follows boat 2, boat 1’s navigation is off by some degree and they wind up in the wrong place. I see that easily happening... convoys make wrong turns regularly. Yes I am conjecturing, but no moreso than you.

If we were in their waters, regardless of how or why, they didn’t do anything wrong.

End of the day, regardless of the events, the reality is this Administration is a joke to the world, so enemies are always emboldened... whether they were so emboldened to take our ships in international waters or in their own, end of the day it doesn’t make much of a difference on the outcome because the weakness this administration projects is why the incident happened as it did, either way.
