Navy says American sailors blabbed to Iranian captors
NY Post ^ | June 30, 2016 | Bob Fredericks

The US sailors who were detained by the Iranian navy last winter provided their name, rank and serial numbers - and pretty much everything else their captors demanded, the US Navy said in a blistering report Thursday.

The 10 crew members, captured at gunpoint in the Persian Gulf on Jan. 12 by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, improperly revealed passwords for laptops and cellphones and even sensitive technical details about their two ships, including their top speed, capabilities and missions, the report said.

The Navy report blamed the incident on a combination of poor planning, clueless leaders who did not properly consider how risky their actions were, a lack of crew oversight and low morale.

“The size, speed, armament and capabilities can be found in “Jane’s Ships” anyway...”

That is beside the point. NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY.

Name, rank, service number PERIOD!

I hope they throw the book at these guys. SHAMEFUL, TREASONOUS, The complete wussification of the U.S. Military.

NO ONE is asking about WHAT EXACTLY the Iranians did to our guys:

That stuff was covered in CLOSED session.

WHY is the very most important stuff with this Administration always SECRET..?

That’s not relevant. Getting POWs to disclose public information is an interrogative method to get them to reveal more. In fact, iInterrogation Course 101.

You don’t endure torture for Obama, you do it for your country.

>>Military tribunals for treason are in order. Each and every one of these IMPOSTERS should be executed.

These sailors fall into one of two categories:

1) They are the typical Millennial snowflake, raised by parents who never taught them any values except “what’s in it for me”. They recieved a shelf full of Participation Trophies and have the highest of undeserved self-esteem. They are the product of our cultural collapse.

2) They are good men and women who have seen the US Government the leadership of the US Navy destroy everything good in the Navy.

In the case of #1, why blame them. This is just what they are. It’s what most people in their generation are. In the case of #2, there is nothing worth being tortured for in a nation that elected Obama TWICE and is on track to elect a person who is under FBI investigation for National Security violations.

This is a nation where people will sell their freedom for a cell phone and corporations will ruin thousands of lives just to raise stock value a dollar a share for one quarter.

Just remember, Obama feted the parents of Bowe Bergdahl in the Rose Garden (and traded him for terrorists), yet these men are slandered. I will give these sailors the benefit of the doubt.

““Had any crew member zoomed into the purple dot, they would have discovered the purple dot was Farsi Island,” the report said.”
