Iran is planning to make its recent capture and release of U.S. Navy sailors into a “tourist attraction.”

That “U.S. Marines” comment caught my eye, too.

The dumbass Iranians don’t even know the difference between a Navy sailor and a United States Marine. Sheesh.

Their silly “tourist attraction” will be a target for carrier based Marine and Navy pilots in the near future, once Obummer is out of office.

What the hell was going on here? I thought is was being “investigated”.

We'll learn a lot from our next Republican presidency. Especially involving the military. There are many stories waiting to be told.

We should have beaten these F***ers to death back in 1979. We should still do so now.

“The sailors were held at gunpoint for a day and paraded in front of cameras – drawing outrage from the Obama administration — before being released.”

This is a LIE.

It drew praise and THANKS from the “Obama administration”.

Like Benghazi, when the Fraud THANKED his BFF terrorist buddies for murdering the US ambassador.

Such a monument would be a high priority target with a reward for anyone who destroys it.

My dog made a piece of art in the backyard honoring Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

The flies seem to like it.

“Such a monument would be a high priority target with a reward for anyone who destroys it.”

Like prosecution and/or early retirement?

I’ll believe it when Sgt. Charles Martland is positively rewarded for his actions in Afghanistan.

Should the time ever come when they are face to face with one I can guarantee they’ll never forget the difference ever again as long as they live.
