That’s special...

I am glad at least the media seems to remember this incident. I doubt the politicians on either side will get to the bottom of it. Iran & Obama both have no reason to come clean.

I want to know if the GPS devices had been tampered with. I am still not buying the idea that those boats were in Iranian territorial waters.

Used to zero out all comm & crypto gear, toss , bury, deep six or destroy common parts such as bolts and trigger groups on weapons, never mark a map in any form or fashion if capture was imminent or for what ever reason couldn’t keep said equipment from falling into enemy hands ......and never carry personal items shy of dog tags, military ID and maybe due the nature of the task at hand a DOD maroon or DOS black passport...

Seems that SOP has been ignored or changed.... insane.

I’m still wondering why the working boat didn’t take alleged broke boat in tow to prevent drifting into contested waters. Regardless of the nature / origin of this fiasco I’m glad the sailors are safe....

Stay Safe ya’ll.....

So they could lie about where all this went down, i.e. non-Iranian waters.

Ambush, board, kidnap.

The equivalent of military sodomizing. “Here you American pig, take THIS! HOW DOES IT FEEL American swine to have your Iranian masters probe your private parts.”

For us the unsavvy, what’s the significance of taking their SIM cards?

Just part of the Obamaphone program.
