The commanding officer of a West Coast-based Navy riverine squadron has been fired in the fallout from an investigation into an incident in which ten sailors were briefly captured by Iranian forces earlier this year.
Cmdr. Eric Rasch, commanding officer of Coastal Riverine Squadron 3, was relieved today by Capt. Gary Leigh the commander of Coastal Riverine Group 1 due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command, according to a Navy release.
Leigh made the decision to remove Rasch after reviewing a preliminary investigation into the incident that unfolded over Jan. 12-13. Two riverine boats carrying ten sailors from CRS-3 were apprehended by the Iranian military after they entered Iranian waters.

****”As far as I am concerned everything we have been and will be told by this Administration and their Navy acolytes is a lie”****
I was SOOOOOO PISSSSSSED when I saw the Vid ... No F’n Way could this happen in “MY MILITARY” NO F’N WAY!
I want the “Re-assigned” supposed CO “Leader” and I want those cowering fools to actually be AGGRESSED in a LIFE OR DEATH situation.
If I meet any of them, they might just be faced with a “Real Life” Dilemma (as in “Your Life Is On The Line”) situation. If they warn me ahead of time I will bring them some Depends.
I agree with you totally. There is something very wrong with this picture. As usual we are being lied to.
I think we have a good leader in Trump. He has got to take this crap head on and not run from these queers. I am totally against women in combat. I will not bore you with my reasons again. Go TRUMP!!
BTW and I apologize for not leading with this. Thank you for your service. I Really mean it.
How about COURT MARSHALED!! How about dishonorable discharge? Fired? BS
Patton: Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost, and will never lose a war... because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
How much training does it take to know not to leave port without full tanks? Like driving out west late in the evening and leaving a town with an open gas station without stopping to top off the tank.....
Next should be the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.
Wish those two nutsacks would get fired.
The very idea that friggin Iran could spoof our SWCC electronics, let alone without us seeing them do it and sending in a few fighters against their - dear God in heaven - Bimini covered fishing boats - while we ran out of gas in the middle of the ocean is literally unthinkable.
This entire farce was preplanned - there is no other rational explanation.
Thank you.
Thanks for the ping.
