Were is the fishing boat? All I see is heavily armed Iranian patrol boats.

Looks like one guy with a rifle and a mounted machine gun in an open fiberglass fishing boat. The US boat has multiple mounted machine guns, and typically a 50 caliber machine gun. Oh, and presumably some armor. And if we didn't have a liberal fool as Commander in Chief, the US boat could call in some help in case of trouble - something like an MH-60 or an F/A-18. There is not much a few guys in a fiberglass boat can do against either aircraft other than run or jump overboard.

More questions: did the US guys have any ammo and if so was it live or dummy as they were on a ‘training’ mission?

If one boat was disabled, why wasn’t the other towing it? They could make reasonable speed maybe 15-20knts under tow.

Why would their superiors, with whom they had to in contact, advise them to surrender? Why would those same superiors not have sent aid earlier or at least a helicopter to watch over them?

Have the LBGTs taken the Navy over already?
